I have had this aggravating thing happen to me before, as I'm sure others can attest to. You're getting ready to check out and you see an available check-out line. As you head to it, out of the blue, this SC with a cart overflowing with groceries rushes to that same check out line, making sure he beats you there. Then, after he has done this, he leaves his cart there and rushes off to do some more shopping!
At Publix, I had a man who did this the other day and rushed off because he needed to get some beer and pretzels. This stuff was located on the other end of the store. Well, I did not wait for this guy to return. I simply shoved his cart out of the way, and began unloading my groceries being I also had a cartload of them. This man did not return until five minutes later, which is quite a long time to wait. When he returned, he said, "Well, nobody is considerate of anyone these days!" I politely told him that he must be talking about himself being it is not considerate to hold up a check out line if you're not finished shopping.
I also witnessed an altercation with the woman behind me at Target today. As I was checking out, I heard, "Hey, that's my cart! I left because I was getting a cold drink and you're in my space!" What ensued later was this woman was yelling at, in front of God and everyone else, her daughter for not staying with the cart. "You know I told you to do that before I left the line! How come you never do what I tell you?" The daughter, around 13 or so, kept arguing with her mother that she never told her any such thing. "Yes, I did!" "No, you didn't!" bullshit. Kind of childish, and I'm at this point really wanting to get my two items, a road atlas, and a book of stories for my children.
Why do these people do crap like that? Do they believe they're above God and everyone else? If you're not finished with your shopping, then don't bother checking out.
