I can relate to almost every pet peeve mentioned above. My boyfriend who is usually very patient, now hates to go shopping. I am handicapped and his help is very much appreciated. I have nerve and muscle loss in my hands and legs. He has actually become outwardly even more patient but he is stuffing his true frustrations. He wants to defend me against people who are shoving past me and blocking me. I have told him we will just have to use this as a way to learn tolerance. However, if someone is just standing there blocking the aisle I will give a firm "excuse me" and they will usually move then. [are they blind, or am I invisable?]
Many people do seem to be extremely rude in grocery or big box stores.
Why can't people use the rules of the road, maybe we should put up signs. Keep your cart to the right of the aisle you are shopping, believe me you will be able to step across to get the items on the other side. Keep your children on the same side of the aisle you are on. Would it hurt to teach your child shopping etiquette? I did and my children behaved nicely and even enjoyed shopping and helping me. When they were little, I think twice we had a child meltdown and I took them outside to the car until they calmed down.
It seems even store managers are so desperate to keep customers they allow any rudeness. I remember years ago if you parked and left your car in a loading zone, you would hear someone say on the loud speaker, would the owner of such and such car, please come move your car or it will be towed.
At times my boyfriend will drop me at the door and then go park, in a handicapped spot and then come into the store, but even if he waited in the car for me what is the problem? I have to have a cart to lean on to walk any distance and I still have to walk out to the car with my purchases.
Please don't abandon your cart at the end of the aisle while you go down the aisle hunting for the items you want! This causes everyone coming down the 2 connecting aisles to have to go around your cart.
