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.

Staring down the logjam, the man, who had a small dog with him, talked about people needing to get out before he went cart-to-cart with the woman, according to the video.

“Ugh, I hate when people bring animals inside grocery stores,” one seethed.
Look at the bright side... he couldn't stop Christmas from coming.
♫ ♪ Welcome Christmas, while we stand, cart-to-cart, and hand-in-hand:

Holly cow batman, I’ve been guilty of that. If the stores would organize the product so you can find the buffalo chicken wing, not the teriyaki wings, not the bone out wings, but the frigging old style buffalo chicken wings, then I would not be standing there like a blind person looking at nothing!!
I finally left in frustration as they had none. Or at least none that I could find.
Not just a recent behavior issue. Thirty years ago to today, little old white ladies steal milk from your cart and butt bump you in the check out line as if that is going to speed up them being 3rd in line. Aisles are super narrow. I can only half blame them on the milk stealing because our HEB is bad about not keeping items stocked, especially the dairy case. That was before C and it was Venezuelan shopping long before Venezuela had shortages.
My Costco is full of folks from India, and trying to maneuver around it must be like trying to drive in New Delhi.
I was recently in Spain, and shopping at a Carrefour store there.
They have these wonderful carts that can easily go sideways, without having to turn, or lift them. Wish they had those here.
I live in a town with one and only one grocery store. I love shopping there. If two people like that started acting like that they both might get arrested by the local sheriff.
Normality? That ship has sailed. This is the new normal.
I get it. Some idiots block the lane with conversation, that trips my trigger.
Maybe not lazy. Maybe they’d like to stand for 2 hours shopping but can’t because of a bad back and knees or because they are elderly. Ping me when it kills you just walking from the car to the store front.
Ha! I wonder if we live in the same small town? We also have only one grocery store. Everyone — customers and employees — is very courteous and pleasant, without exception. I actually look forward to shopping there. Folks are always decent at the local Wally World too.
You had an excellent closing remark “Next time....” Yes!!
She deserved it, with her Drama Queen, self righteousness.
I don’t think I would have been able to retaliate so quickly.
I was raised not to ‘make a scene’ in public, but sometimes, the ‘scene’ walks up to you, ready made!
I hate Costco. The pittance you save isn’t worth all the bullshit.
If I’m ever in the mood to see some ghettopottamus chaos, there’s a Walmart not too far from me where the chances are high of seeing a fight of some kind.
Easy enough to back out of the blocked aisle or don’t go during peak hours. Peak hours are shown right there on their phones. As if it wouldn’t be a madhouse every holiday. Never understood why people think they need to shop every other day. I learned real quick to get everything in one go so you don’t need to go again for 4-6 weeks.
Can’t wait to hear of the Horror stories from Black Friday, could not pay me to go out to that stuff. It really all got out of hand several years ago.
OH! I love it! There are “excuse me” and ‘sorry’ echoing off the walls there! It runs like a well oiled machine. They got a vibe in there. They even have carry outs to your car. The only thing missing about the 1970s grocery shopping experience is no S&H Green Stamps and there is no smoking in the store. Ground out cigarette butts on the floor of the grocery store seemed counterintuitive.
People who block isles with their carts require incoming mortar rounds.
These same people drive their cars the exact same way, rude, like they’re the only car on the road.
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.
