We spend so much of our time at the grocery store. So there’s bound to be a day when we see something funny that catches our fancy. Whether it’s naughty signage, silly guests, or employee humor, these fun sightings are always going to bring a smile.
Let’s check out 40 grocery store sightings that had people in stitches!
1. Punny, but maybe not funny
This store rolled out some brand new mats to greet customers on their way in. Unless they live in a town well known for amazing mustaches, this may not have hit the mark. Still, it’s nice to see something beyond a basic “welcome mat” on your way to the produce aisle.
2. The Funniest Cheese
This grocer either doesn’t like Americans or thinks American cheese isn’t that great. We know some people prefer a good Cheddar or Havarti for their sandwich needs, so we’re thinking it’s the latter. Do you think this shopper bought the cheese because of the tag or was this a happy accident?
3. Single Shopper Seeking Produce
It was a match made in heaven for anyone who wants bananas but isn’t interested in enjoying a bunch. Just pick up your favorite banana and take them home today. Sounds like the perfect way to find a treat before work.
4. Like Capri Sun, but for Parents
Back to School time is a stressful time for kids and parents. So this grocery store decided to be honest and offer all the supplies that adults need. Would certainly make shopping more bearable.
5. Left for Dead
Someone had to have fun setting this up. A skeleton in the child seat of a shopping cart just brings to mind those long boring hours waiting for parents to stop talking with friends at the store. But in this case, the child waited perhaps a few days too long.
6. Someone doesn’t like licensed products
Licensed products have a long history of not being as good as other brands. So this typo found at a supermarket may not have been a typo at all. Have you tried Krabby Patties Snacks? Would you if you saw this?
7. Wish she was taller, kinda like a baller
Is this hilarious or a sign that chivalry isn’t dead? Well maybe it’s both as this tall man takes an item for himself that this short woman thought was meant for her. This is why store clerks often have stepladders to help.
8. Samwise would be Proud
This grocery store knows how to appeal to their Lord of the Rings fan demographics. This amazing piece of art and the joking taglines would be a great way to sell snack bowls. Just look at the smile on his face!
9. A Bunch of Puns
This grocery store pun isn’t that hard to figure out. We’ve all made this joke growing up, but that doesn’t stop it from being fun. You could call it a-peel-ing.
10.Fry Guys
Apparently, Grant really likes fries or overestimated his store’s needs. So now they have to have this amazing sale on french fries. Do you think Grant had any other sales named after him?
11. Hispanic Dad Joke
We don’t know too many dads who’d pass up a chance at a silly joke. Like this one here who couldn’t help himself beneath this sign.
12. Mature Humor for Mature Shoppers
Ever since the first youth noticed you could spell words on a calculator, spelling words has been a source of comedy. Like this very mature sign made by a customer at a supermarket. We can bet that they were giggling all the way home.
13. Superstar Experience
Ever wanted to feel like an A-List celeb? Then how about this grocery store that sells M&Ms in bulk separated by color? Now you too can feel like a picky fan and get the M&Ms you want!
14. “You’re Next”
Surely this sign is just nicely telling customers, “Don’t worry, your turn is coming up!” However, any scary movie fan can agree it’s not something you want to hear…
15. Lizards Need Groceries Too
This Thailand Grocery Store got the surprise of their life when a big monitor lizard shows up. The big beasty just climbed right atop a shelf and decided to hang out. Okay, maybe more scary than funny – but definitely not something you see every day!
16. They Saw the Signs
When a grocery store notices signs with mistakes, they have to replace them quick. But unlike most stores, this employee saves them. Maybe he likes seeing the funny mistakes or he uses this to teach what not to do. Which mistake is your favorite?
17. Fine Art on Aisle Three
Can you imagine going to your grocer and seeing these amazing Office signs up? How much do you want to bet it’s an event for locals? One thing’s for sure, we wouldn’t mind a slice of birthday pie.
18. Long Time in a Long Line
No one likes long lines, especially at the grocery store. But when your grocer doesn’t have self-checkout or multiple cashiers, this is what’s going to happen. It’s so bad, it’s almost laughable…right?
19. Spelling With Cups
Someone had a lot of free time to hunt down mugs to spell this message. Look how they even turned the letters in the same direction so anyone walking by could see. We’re sure the store caught on eventually and fixed it, so it was great while it lasted.
20. Button Deterrent
Everyone knows the allure of “Push Me” buttons, but can you imagine hearing that all day as an employee? Well this store decided to get a little revenge with their very own “roll trap”. If that doesn’t clue you in on the joke, the video above will.
21. Just Get a Cart!
This shopper couldn’t be bothered to get a basket for his grocery shopping, so he put his sugar bag in the safest place he could think of. It’s not where we’d go with the idea, but it’s original. Could even say that’s how you use your head.
22. Lost in Translation
Sometimes when you translate words to another language, the meaning gets garbled. But we’ve rarely seen it garbled this badly. We can’t even imagine what the original product was called! Can you?
23. Not Very Good Advice
Now, we don’t know if the store intended to give out advice on their sign. However, it does say, “baby needs beers & wine.” You got 21 years to go kid.
24. This Spud’s a Star
We love potatoes as much as anyone else, but we had to double take at this one. Just so much glam for a potato it’s incredible. Just think of this next time you’re making steak and potatoes.
25. The Not-So-Swinging Bachelor Kit
This grocery store sells what’s called a bachelor special. Two cans of beer, steak, and potatoes. Everything you could want for a night alone. Wonder how popular this special was?
26. The Perfect Sale for Munchies
Someone clearly had a good time coming up with this gag. If you don’t get it, then you should look up “cannabis culture” when you aren’t at work.
27. This Art went for Peanuts
Just imagine going down your grocery store aisles when you see this beautiful piece of work. Fans of the actor and film will sure get a kick out of it, and might go up to pick up a bag of peanuts. Never a bad time for some awesome art!
28. Maybe Rethink the Title
We’re absolutely sure that this grocery store find refers to easy and fast cooking. But really, the title is just going to cause giggles when people see it. Surprised the editor didn’t think about this.
29. Hands up Please!
This grocery store Muppet Art is kind of creepy when you think about it. From the face to the expression to the outfit, it just doesn’t make us feel like shopping. As one commenter said, “I’m going to have to see both hands!”
30. Temptation Around the Corner
Someone decided to put a huge display of candy right by the “Weight Control” section (not to mention, the “Denture Care” section). Come on, man! There had to of been a better place to put it. As the Imgur user points out, “foreshadowing perhaps?”
31. Don’t Skip Math Day
Figuring out deals isn’t always easy, but sometimes grocery stores do the job for us. I mean, do you want to stop for this deal? Please say no.
32. Brick Oven Pizza
Now, call us suspicious, but when we want hard brick cooked pizza this isn’t what we meant. But more importantly, what led to this photo? Did someone actually just leave a brick in the pizza aisle? We’ll never know.
33. American Style Ice-Cream
So, maybe someone can help us, but what’s American-Style about this Ice Cream? Is it the tourists? The Flavor? Or the fact that it’s “Pimped”? Actually, maybe we don’t want to know.
34. What Color is a Toot?
Now, we haven’t been down the books aisle of our grocery store in a while. But can we expect to see this at some point? Can you imagine the look on a parent’s face if their child waddles up and asks for this?
35. Even Yoda Can’t Resist Bacon
Bacon has a smell that brings a smile to a lot of faces. That might explain why this grocery store artist decided to have Yoda lured in by the aroma. So would Bacon be considered Light Side dining?
36. Hobbit Tested, Gollum-Approved
When we think about toilet paper, we don’t usually think about The Lord of the Rings. But someone at this grocer apparently did. As one commenter said it best:
“One roll to rule them all. One roll to swipe them. One roll to clean them all and betwixt the buttcheeks wipe them.”
37. Maybe add a letter or two
We get it, you only have so much sign space to use. But sometimes you have to think for more than a second about your shortened words. Because this doesn’t make us think of assorted flavors.
38. Reasonable Advice
When storms and epidemics arrive, people often panic buy. But this helpful sign suggests calm before buying toilet paper wastefully. It’s not bad advice either, since I bet many of us have used toilet paper to blow our noses before.
39. It Shouldn’t Have Been That Hard
One customer found a bunch of lovely grapes – but they were supposed to be strawberries according to the packages. I mean, at least the packer got the fruit part right.
40. Not the best product placement
Placing your grocery store items is all about convenience. But some stores, like this one, think in the wrong direction of providing for their customers. Beer, pads, what’s further down the aisle?
