That gets me every time, no matter how much planning I put into the shopping list beforehand.

Amen brother! That and people who will queue in a long-ass line for a till to ask the worker where something is, when customer services over in the other direction not only had no line waiting, but would also know the answer.
Another one of mine from my time spent at a well-known UK catalog-based store (I don't know if you have them in the US, but you basically walk in, browse the store catalog, write down the numers of the items you want, and go to the till, where they are then fetched for you from the warehouse after you've paid) was when people came up to the till and asked: "Which of these 15,000 pages in the catalog are specialist dog-watch-thermometer-shitters on?"; because surely I must have an encyclopaedic knowledge of the entire catalog to work there...
