I like it. What I usually do is the same as if a car is stuck on the roadway:
"Excuse me, your cart seems to be stuck blocking the aisle, do you need help moving it?". It's a more polite "evolution" of my previous: "Move it or I'll move it for you". Very few things test my patience, but this is one of them, mainly because it is completely unnecessary. One of the others is people holding a conversation in a doorway and also those who are walking on a crowded sidewalk and then just stop dead in their tracks. Imagine what happens when a car in traffic does that.
