He better watch out.
Footage of a heated confrontation between customers apparently taken inside a Costco emerged the day before Thanksgiving — sparking online debate about naughty shopper behavior as gift-buying season gets underway.
An aggravated man rammed a woman’s shopping cart with his own as he impatiently tried to push through a sea of shoppers in an aisle, according to a video a fellow customer posted on a Reddit Costco thread, which is not affiliated with the mega-chain store.

We live in a world of adult two year olds. People have just socially regressed. Not sure I completely understand it, but the loss of self-control is increasing rapidly.
Frank Costanza thought there must be a better way and then he invented Festivus.
we shop Sam’s club. I’m afflicted with “shoppers aggravation syndrome” when shopping around idiots. wifey termed it “a Sam’s attack”. shopping around dummies doesn’t always bother me but when they are out in force, like the holidays...wifey sees that look in my eyes and quickly ushers me out before anything bad happens. “only doctors have patience” applies.
We need Jesus.
I am the first to admit that many times it does almost require an inordinate amount of strength, but things seem to be getting worse. The people with carts in the middle of the aisle blocking everyone. The person with cart who stops on a dime immediately in front of you. It can be challenging.
Serenity now!
It’s the only way forward.
We have 40 million more people here, things getting a little crowded.
They do not share the same cultural norms as Americans.
The pressure is building.
But hopefully soon things will get back to some semblance of normality.
:)
The idiot woman made a clog and wouldn’t get out of the way. The whole aisle was bottled up.
Yeah, good point.
One thing I would like to mention is the store shoppers at Krogers or WalMart doing shopping for people who are too lazy to do their own shopping. These carts are about three times the size of an ordinary cart. The employees just stop in the middle of an aisle and block it. And since they are employees, they don’t care about the customers.
My favorite two words when the idiot in front of me is blocking the aisle.
“Behind you.”—three inches from their ear.
If they don’t move it is because they really are hard of hearing.
:-)
Time your shopping so you don’t have to deal with it. This county only has 17k people living in it so shopping is easy. I wondered why people from WV came here to shop until I went to the Kroger in Princeton. Now I know why. It was just like the article.
TRY 60 MILLION +++++ MORE
I love the people who block aisles in the parking lot waiting for someone to pull out of a close-in space. But I haven’t rammed one….yet.
At the grocery store yesterday for a few things - very crowded but we were all behaving - it was cramped in a few places I’ll admit - but just remain calm and look for sale prices
A black lady moved out of my way then I truly accidentally bumped into her - oops - I apologized immediately
we both just laughed
The carts are pretty high anyway, and I am short, so sometimes hard to see around and over. Had a bunch of bulky stuff in the cart. Store was crowded.
I was nearing the end of the aisle, and there was a food sample table set up on my left side. I was going to the right. Big crowd around the table, carts in the way, but not to the right.
So I turn my cart to the right, and bash into a stroller that I could not see because---everything was crowded. Mom had left her toddler there unattended while she went for samples.
She came running up to me, yelling at me "HEY! LOOK OUT! YOU ALMOST HURT MY KID!"
I apologized, saying I hadn't seen him, parked right around the corner when I turned.
She put her hand up dismissively and yelled "NO! DON'T APOLOGIZE!" (she was asian, so it was really "APOROGIZE").
I was annoyed anyway--at myself for stupidly going during peak hours on a weekend, at the stupid people blocking the aisles--her yelling at me and then dismissing my apology set me off.
I yelled back at her, "NEXT TIME, DON'T BE AN ASSHOLE AND LEAVE YOUR KID ALONE IN A STOLLER WHERE PEOPLE PUSHING CARTS CAN'T SEE HIM!"
Area around me went silent, she looked a little shocked, and I stalked off. :)
Everytime I go back into that Costco and down the same aisle, I laugh.
This is more Walmart behavior.
