dumbest grocery websites ever

Here's something to be said for local websites. They're utterly stupid! Hate to use the word but when push comes to a shove, the truth has to be said, and I repeat, Utterly.Stupid!!

I usually surf the grocery stores' websites for their weekly promotions and make my grocery list accordingly before I head out.

Like I said, I'm avoiding Tesco because I don't like being conned into paying more because of their perpetually incorrect pricing. I hardly go there now but I still check their site sometimes on the off chance that I happen to be in the area. But guess what? Their website is so inefficient you first need to figure out if it's this week, last week (whatever for???), or the weekly flyer. Then you need to click on each page to open it up ONE by ONE! And the most current week's flyer is hidden in some obscure link and the old, outdated flyers are the first ones you see. Talk about stupid!

I go to Carrefour more often now where I rarely have a problem with wrong prices at checkout. But their website is SO outdated it's still showing their Chinese New Year promotions flyer!!! I read somewhere that they tend to focus more on newspaper ads. But listen, Carrefour, very few people waste their money on newspapers any more. The in-thing is the internet these days, in case you guys haven't heard!

The Giant website is so stupidly organized, they list the items with the same promotion date OVER and OVER again under each item for the SAME promotional period, and it goes on for pages and pages!!! And stores at different locations have different promotions going on at the same time so you need to figure that out too!!!

So my question is, where do people leave their brains when they go to work these days?? Check any website and the answer is quite obvious. They're either extremely stupid, not updated, or written in gibberish they call English. Okay, 'nuff said, don't get me started on what kind of English they use, it it's even English to start with *rolls eyes to ceiling* !!
