I will admit to Walmart shopping when one-stop is called for. The shoppers there tend to be of two varieties, those who will say “Sorry” for the slightest thing — in central PA we have a lot of extremely polite folk — and the aggressive ones who are larger than I am (that is to say, >100 pounds, >60 inches high). The aggressors see me coming from a distance, but they still make me jump out of their way, no matter what. I always take an equalizer shopping cart, but it doesn’t always help. I’m supposed to move like a bird in traffic. I can, but...they just seem so entitled by their size. Not to mention the ones in the motorized carts :( Largo al cartotum! Make way!
Not happy about the gabfests in the wide aisles, either.
Still, Walmart saves me the trouble of all-day downtown shopping between Lewisburg and Lancaster, my usual turf. And their paint and hardware prices beat all.
Reminds me of one time when I was shopping in Walmart and 2 women (probably in their 50s) were cruising side-by-side on the motorized shopping scooters.
Blocking isles and gossiping as they went. They would stop at an area, discussing which bread was better, taking up to 5 minutes at a time at each stop.
No concerns that they were blocking hundreds of others needing to get past them, or needed an item where they were parked, chatting away.
