The supermarket near my house There's a supermarket that's just crossing the street of my house, it's a really helpful, but I've had a few weird situations in there. The place is always so dirty that it's disturbing. One time, I was in the checkout line, and I took one of the plastic bags to put the groceries in there, and I made a fast pull movement to unstick the bag, and 5 or 6 crockroaches appeared out of nothing, from under the heap of bags, running in all directions, and the checker guy started to hit them with his fist as if it was totally normal, without saying a word about it. Other thing about that guy, I can't help looking at his hands whenever he gives me the change, bucause his nails are incredbly long and dirty. Other time, the checking girl this time, also in the checkout line, she was spitting in a bucket beside her chair. I know, disgusting... but relly helpful having a market so close :)

The supermarket near my house.

 

There's a supermarket that's just across the street from my house, It's really handy, but I've had a few bad experiences there. The place is so dirty that it's disturbing.

 

Once, when I was in the checkout line, I took one of the plastic grocery bags by making a fast pull movement to unstick the bag from the others. To my surprise and disgust, I observed 5 or 6 crockroaches come out from under the heap of bags running in all directions. The checker started to hit them with his fist as if it were normal, without saying a word about it.

 

I also find it disturbing looking at the checker's hands. Whenever he gives me my change from my purchase because his fingernails are incredbly long and dirty.

 

On another occasion, a different checker was spitting in a bucket beside her chair.

 

I know, it's disgusting ... but really helpful having a market so close :)

Good story, just be careful with run on sentences.  It's normal to use them when you're speaking, but with writing try to avoid them as much as possible.

That does not sound like a place I would want to shop at, even if it is convenient. haha ;)

The supermarket near my house

There's a supermarket right across the street from my house, it's a really helpful (convenient), but I've had a few weird (strange/odd) experiences over there. The place is always so dirty that it's disturbing.
One time, I was in the checkout line, and I took one of the plastic bags to put the groceries in there, and I made a fast (quick) pull movement to unstick (grab) the bag, and 5 or 6 crockroaches appeared out of nowhere, from under the heap of bags, running in all directions, and the checker (a guy) started to hit them with his fist as if it was totally normal, without saying a word about it.
Another thing about that guy- I can't help but look at his hands whenever he gives me the change, because his nails are incredibly long and dirty.
Another time, while I was in the checkout line, a female checker was spitting in a bucket beside her chair.
I know, disgusting... but, in the end, it's still really helpful having a market so close by :)
