Social distancing
 

So my daughter and I are in Aldi's today. Going up and down the isles in the correct direction. A woman staunchly told me my mask was not on properly. I thought it was but I thanked her. We went to put the groceries on the belt and she yelled that her things need to be off the belt before ours go on. When she had 3 items left I started to load on the belt and
She pointed her finger and said apparently you dont know how to listen. Wow, how rude. We are so concise of all things. I ha e never been spoken to that way. So, please be nice to one another. Shopping used to be a joy for me, but not so much now

Wow. Sorry you went thru that. I want to think I would’ve laughed at her. She doesn’t make the rules.

I would have laughed and asked her. Who made you boss?

I don't think the belts are being sanitized after every customer. Wondering why this woman thought the person behind her could not load their items while her items were still on the belt.

Yeah, she was right. Obviously, you do not know how to listen. You should not have put your items on the belt before hers we off.

I don't know why she wanted your items off the belt, but if your items were getting her upset, it is best to just let her have her way and then let her leave the store. Some people are very uptight these days.

At Aldis they took the order-separators away from the registers because they didn't want more than one order on the belt at a time. I don't know if they put them back or not. But if they're still gone, that's why. The cashier could have mentioned it to you if it was an issue - he did to me when I went to put my stuff there a week ago. I apologized and picked my stuff back up again, no big deal.

As for wearing your mask "wrong" well - wearing a mask isn't required at Aldi's, so it really doesn't matter if you were wearing it correctly or not, there.

Get use to it around here. Luckily low percentage Of those types you run into everyday, but they are out there. She’ll push someone’s button one day and not be happy when another like her responds.

If you want see how bad it really is—-search ocalaonlinenews, read some of them article’s.

She would have been put in her place if it was me that she disrespected. Who does she think she is. If you don't have anything nice to say then please shut your trap

Sounds like "Cabin Fever" to me!

Not a good answer to let people act like that. If everyone waited for the first person in line to complete their sales then there would be a backup in the line all the way down the aisle which is already getting to be a hard line to follow. Tell the old bitty "mind your own business." The cashier should have called the manager.

I can't wait to run into someone like that. "Go ahead, make my day!"

I don't think so. The day I cow-tow to someone like that is 5 minutes after I'm socially distanced by 6 feet under. And I'd give HER plenty to "listen to".

Then she should stay home and order on line or by phone.

If the policy of the store is not displayed it cannot be enforced by anyone. Were there signs?. If another customer tries to enforce them in a manner that is so rude they can be ask to leave and trespassed. In the future you might want to ask for a manager if you are treated poorly by anyone in the store.

Don’t let the actions of a few ruin your day.
She sounds like a very afraid lady and needed to vent. Unfortunately it was you.
I would have told her where she could go. I’m that kind of person.
People like her need to be told or they keep doing it to others.

lack of manners
 

you can only expect a grunt from a pig.I think I would have had to respond in some way, I admire your self control.

Yes, she was rude...but, remember: Walk a mile in her shoes....well...don't do that exactly. We don't need another cranky person out there.

You should have put your stuff back in your basket and then touched all of her stuff that was still on the belt.

my experience at Aldi's ...I was told by the cashier NOT to put my
stuff on the belt until the previous order was checked out

Your response was very admirable. Well done. Killing the crotchedy old bags with kindness is the best policy, although sometimes a snarky remark back is fun. Perhaps something like, "You will be ok maam. I don't think anyone wants to get close to you with that attitude."

Remember the security guard shot to death yesterday for asking a person to put a mask on before entering the store. The customer’s family and friends felt she was disrespected and killed him. Never know what unhinged idiots might be carrying a gun nowadays. Sometimes better not to challenge someone unless it’s a life and death matter.

Adverse times bring out the best and the worst in people.

The real unhinged idiots allow guns in the first place.

Rude? Obtrusive? Big mouth?
 

Probably from new york

Folks are pretty up tight... and for a good reason. You should have just given her the finger.

Let it go.
 

Avoiding people like that for your mental health is not weakness. It’s wisdom

Yes .. there are people who don't realize that the main purpose of the mask is to prevent a "sneeze cloud" from spreading and additionally as a reminder to keep one's hands off the face.

We should remember that a lot of people are under stress and may over-react. We need to have compassion for the crazy people out there. They are destroying their own immune system ... make sure we don't over-react to them and damage our own with worry.

Yeah, all the social distancing mandates have given the “Karens” and other hall monitors much ammunition to interfere into other’s lives.

Don’t let a very ignorant lady get to you !! Apparently she’s not a very nice lady !!

New York? Seems to me that you are being judgmental and type-casting with this remark. Is it appropriate or are you putting yourself in the category of the woman doing the pointing and yelling?

If you are pointing fingers .... should you criticize those who are pointing fingers?

Must of been the same woman who scolded me for loading my groceries on the belt before she had completed her check out last year at Sam’s, way before the corona virus was heard of. People behind me in line were surprised as well.

I believe that’s Aldi’s policy is you cannot put your items on the belt till the other person is done, I presume the reason being so no one gets close to one another. Too bad this woman spoke so harshly towards you; some people have no class.

In WalMart Grocery at Colony, the workers were courteously putting everyone in a long line (like a bank teller's) and then guiding the next person to the free cashier (with 4 lanes open) as soon as the previous customer was totally done with groceries on the conveyor belt. It moved fairly quickly and worked pretty well. Just took a bit longer since one couldn't be "getting ready" ahead of time....

Just thank your lucky stars you don’t have to live with her. Probably some poor guy does.

Masks or no masks, good times or bad some people are just grouchy.

You will be seeing a lot more violence as time goes on. From mask wearers and those that do not wear masks. Remember outside the bubble lives are being destroyed. A security guard was shot dead yesterday over not wearing a mask.

Probably was from NYC ignore these loons

She needs to stay home if she is so fearful.
