Busiest Days at a Grocery Store?

I recently got a job at my local Safeway.. so far I've worked on a Friday and Saturday. The ones who work there say the weekends are always the busiest of the week and so far Friday was pretty hectic. So I was wondering if any of you have worked at a grocery store and what were the busiest/worst days to work.

So what do you think are the slowest days? Mondays?

I think wednsday and thursday is when the crazy coupon ladies storm in. Thats what my mom said, shes a "super couponer". We get alot of free stuff and she even ends up making money sometimes. :D

I worked at a grocery store for 5 years, and I can say from personal experience that while during the day (7am-3pm), weekdays are much slower, but once people start getting out of school and work there isn't much difference. Be prepared for holidays, though. Thanksgiving and Christmas are obviously the worst, but any given day as early as a week before the actual holiday, has the potential of being THE busiest day of the year.

It's not about busy days, it's about busy hours.

Friday, Saturday, and Sunday are the busiest days.

I work as a bagger/cashier at my local grocery store, and from my experience the busiest days usually are Saturday and Sunday (especially Sunday morning once football season starts).

When it is the first or 15th of the month, I don't even bother going to the grocery store.

i worked at one for 3 years, friday and saturday were the busiest, also wednesdays were because of the senior citizen 5% discount

busiest day- Saturday

Slowest- tuesday or Wednesday

When it gets busiest- the day before a long weekend or holiday in which the store will not be open the next day. For some reason people seem to leave their shopping to that last day

Sunday by far. The slowest day would be Tuesday.

Well Friday wasn't really too bad, It was just the busiest I've seen it in awhile. The thing is that we have a very popular Lake about 10 miles from town so there are a lot of people getting camping food/supplies for the weekend. I'm currently on lunch break right now and today hasn't been too bad at all.
