Previous to this change, I had mentioned to my spouse that the stores with narrow aisles should make them one way. The other day, I went into Publix for the first time since this pandemic and did not even notice the signs until someone mentioned it to me, that I was going the wrong way. I have to admit that the person that mentioned it to me was a bit snooty, but I still thanked her for bringing it to my attention. I was glad to see the change and feel they ought to keep it that way, since the space is too limited to barely get two carts pass each other. The only signs I noticed were on the floor and I was more intent on getting my shopping done and out of there than to even notice the signs on the floor.
Walmart has narrow aisles also, here in the Villages. It makes one wonder why the store would have it so narrow when they have so many seniors using those electric carts. Leesburg has wide aisles with plenty of room to easily maneuver carts when shopping. Too bad the Walmart in the Villages doesn't consider the constant bumping of the carts and bodies. And yes, some seniors do not operate vehicles as adeptly as younger folks. Everybody becomes that way eventually, unless you don't live long enough.
I do not consider a person making a mistake to be an idiot or careless. But, I do believe folks that throw stones due to their own misery, to be boorish. Hopefully, someone is not speaking of you as you are speaking of others.
