I have no problem with anyone taking the time to comparison shop prices especially since that is how my wife trained me. What gets me irritated is the people who park their cart on one side of the isle while they are checking out the products on the opposite side of the isle thereby blocking the entire isle where nobody can get through. Sometimes a polite "excuse me" will cause them to move but you are just as likely to get "the death stare" for disturbing their concentration. I always try to be considerate and keep the cart as far to the side as possible and do my shopping either in front or behind the cart thus leaving the other side clear for anyone wishing to pick and zip. Visits with your neighbors should be limited to perhaps the deli counter while you are waiting in line to place your order. Catching up with old friends is fine but keep at least one side of the aisle open please! A little consideration can go a long way to preventing a nuclear meltdown on Isle 3.
