I've had a couple run ins while shopping in different places this week.
Earlier in the week I was at the self checkout. Everything went smooth until I went to leave. My first job many years ago in my teens I was a cashier, so with that, I know my way around a register. Better yet since most self checkouts are insanely easy to figure out using a GUI system, I can breeze through the process. With me breezing through those things, I tend to keep things moving. Checkout my items, pay (generally with my card), grab my bags, receipt and go.
This time, as I was leaving, I guess I cut a guy off while walking out and he was pushing his cart out at the same exact time from self checkout. Initially I didn't see him, but I ended up seeing the front of his cart going in the same direction as me from my peripheral vision. Instead of just letting me go on about my business, he decides to try and "race" me out of the store. I just kept walking with his cart on my ass. Seriously?
Same store as above but about several hours ago.
Self checkout was crowded so I decided to go to a cashier. As soon as I started to go to a register this lady just pushes her cart ahead of me to beat me there. TBH we both arrived at that point at the same exact time but she seemed on a mission. She saw that the person already there had a ton of shit and so did I so I just walked behind and around her. She ended up going to some other line that was mildly busy and I got in a line that was empty with a lady who was at the tail end of being checked out. I get rang up for my peppers that I forgot to get earlier in the day and was out before the other lady. As I was leaving, the subtle glare she gave me from the register she chose was priceless.
I was in another store earlier in the week and was looking for some small hygiene items. I go to an aisle and as soon as I do, here comes this lady with a shopping cart that comes right behind me and parks her cart right in front of me
bitch? Seriously? Imagine standing in a aisle looking at something and someone step RIGHT in front of you and acts like you aren't even there. That's what this bitch did. I just stepped aside and continued looking at other things. Then she goes into passive aggressive mode for whatever reason. Wherever I move to, she goes reaching past me to look at shit she ends up not even interested in. This happens a few more times and each time I stand my ground and don't move. Cause seriously, everywhere I went in that aisle her ass was there reaching around me. I ended up finding what I needed in a different aisle.
Same store as above. I'm standing in line by myself and the only register open at the moment had some lady already done with her purchase just shooting the breeze with the cashier about some Avon shit. I'm standing there for a minute and the lady turns to me and says she'll just be "a minute." I'm thinking whatever and I hope another register opens or she eventually leaves. Nope, if not I wouldn't be posting this. She stands there for a few minutes just jaw jacking with the cashier about stuff. Another register opens and I check out. As soon as I get ready to leave who does as well? Yup, lady.
I had to literally walk around her. She seemed like a very nice lady but was really oblivious to making others wait for nothing and just being in the way.
Again earlier today I was in a dollar type store. About 90% of the place is a dollar with more expensive items like pots, pans, blenders etc. being pretty much full price. Anyways, I'm looking for some cleaning products and am in an aisle by myself. I'm standing there looking at LA's Totally Awesome products and this weird lady comes to the aisle and starts crowding me out. At this point in the week I'm absolutely not in the mood for this shit. She starts looking at things close by when I'm getting the feeling that what she's looking for is RIGHT where I'm so happen to be standing. I'm thinking
not again. She's moaning and groaning, kinda talking to herself in mumbles, uhs and whatnot. I'm thinking something is wrong with her but I'm going to get what I came for while reading the labels to make sure the product serves the purpose I need.
Anyways fast forward to checkout. Again, I'm there first and the only one at the register. As I'm checking out guess who comes up as my stuff is getting bagged? No surprise weird lady doing the same groaning and crowding me out. At this point I'm almost certain she has a mental disorder of some sort. As I pick up my bags, this lady is practically on top of me. I get my stuff and go. Piss on weird, rude, impatient, inconsiderate whatever negative adjective people.
Why me? Or anyone else who has had to deal with this.
