Now that Arthur T. DeMoulas has struck a deal to regain ownership of the 72 Market Basket grocery stores in New England, we can finally go back to talking about how much we love to hate the place. Sure, the prices are unbeatable and the employees are as courteous as could be, but come on, you know you hate everything about shopping there. Here’s five things that Market Basket shoppers always complained about, but secretly missed over the past six weeks.
1. Grabbing number 99 at the deli counter, then realizing they are on number 13.

Even when you do all of the rest of your shopping and come back, they’re only up to number. 20.
2. Trying to find a parking space when everyone who shops there parks like this.

Seriously? There are only 500 spaces and 7,000 people trying to park. Just don’t.
3. Stupid displays clogging up the aisles.

This makes me homicidal.
4. Employees stocking the shelves at peak shopping times, clogging up the aisles

This makes me homicidal.
5. People wearing pajamas, prom dresses, half-shirts, see-through clothing, mesh, or anything acid washed, clogging up the aisles.

No one needs to see this while they are trying to pick out fruit. It makes me homicidal.
Thankfully, we’re just four short months away from Christmas, when good ol’ Market Basket will haul out these doozies from 1945, and all will be right with the world.
