If I'm in a hurry and only have a little to buy, I'll use a hand basket. Makes it so much easier to get through the aisles. If rushed but need to buy a lot, I grab a hand basket and put it in my cart. When I see an aisle is crowded, I carefully park my cart out of the way and walk the aisle with the basket or just carry the stuff.
If I'm not in a hurry, I honestly don't mind waiting for someone to notice that they're blocking my path. I have always found folks to be apologetic when this happens and I always respond with a smile and a "no problem." It just makes a miserable experience (I truly loathe shopping) a little more bearable.
