Grocery Shopping... I'm so sick of it!

Is anyone else having problems with grocery stores around them?  It seems lately everytime I go shopping I have an issue or some weird thing that happens, at just about every chain- Walmart, Meijer, Kroger, Kmart...

Let's see- butter with moldy packages, baby food jars with the lids popped open, bad meat, fresh fruit that isn't fresh!

Seriously what's going on... why do us as consumers have to constantly check expiration dates or make sure it hasn't already been opened?!  I understand we should look at what we're buying, but when you go shopping with 3 young kids it sometimes comes down to just putting it in the cart.

Isn't that what the store employees are for?  I'm not getting paid to shop there... which also brings me to the fact that after hours, I think it's 11pm, Meijer closes all registers except for the U-Scan.  So not only do you have to double check all your food to make sure it's not bad, you also have to ring and bag all your own groceries because that happens to be the time that you could get to the grocery store!  UGH!!

And then when you do get something bad, you have to decide whether to spend the time & gas to go back to the store and return/exchange it or just throw it out and waste the money!!  I feel like I'm spending more & more for less quality & poor customer service.  Please step it up big grocery store chains... I need to buy food for my family and I'm running out of options on where to buy it!
