This is a big issue at my current store. Amazed at how people will just ignore clear signs and look right at you waiting for a space. It’s a hassle to the workers who have figure out where we are.

This is probably because with the pandemic over, most people don't feel that 17 parking spaces need to be devoted to those doing pickup rather than shopping inside like the vast majority of people.

So there are 17 spaces out of 258 that are available for people doing pick up, which means you may have to walk 10 feet farther to get into the store. How do you do it?!?

I park there all the time on purpose to pisseople like you off. No Target you don’t need 20 curbside spots. No one is doing that anymore.

What?! Everyone is still doing that! I love curbside pickup.

But... and I think this is where the picky eater annoyance comes in... I would never in a million years mention it if someone serves me food with onions. I will eat your chilli and do my best to just avoid the onions, and make it look like I just didn't finish the bowl.
I will calmly take the onions off my burger.
People may or may not notice, but I certainly won't mention it.
I do have one friend, though, who won't eat most vegetables. Which is fine if she would just... not eat them. But no - she needs to tell everyone all about how much she hates them, and order all her food at restaurants without them.

Eat what you want. But just be chill about it.

+1 And to the unhinged poster who keeps on posting about sh!tty cooks who can't make tasty stew and chili without onions, if you are at my house, you politely tolerate and eat my stew with onions even though you hate onions. And when I'm at your house I do the same with your onion-free stew even though I personally think onions add a like of taste and texture to the stew. What I don't do is call you names and question your cooking abilities. This is what grown-ups do.

Instead, the belligerent bigots yammer on about "picky eaters" without learning facts, like many of the PPs.

Do PPs also criticize those who have other sense differences (like sight, sound, smell) the same way? I can't imagine badgering and being annoyed by a person with a sight difference, "What do you mean you can't see that bird in the sky? It's so obvious!" or sound, "Why can't you hear that babbling brook, I can?!!"

People who have taste differences do NOT taste the same way others may. In some, the extreme bitter taste from some vegetables is enough to set off a gag reflex.

That is not a choice. And it is not a reflection on your cooking skills or meal choices. So stop trying to shame someone who won't eat that broccoli you heaped on their plate.

It means surprised or shocked. What happened was that since enough people kept using it incorrectly to mean unperturbed, eventually they just decided to add that definition to the dictionary
