The worst are people who come up to me talking on a cell phone and i have to figure out if they are talking to me or the person on the cell phone. Then there are the people who almost push me out the way when i am stocking something they wish to buy. I can usually anticipate people standing behind me waiting and i just get out the way. New store opens thursday oct 2nd. That should help to slow down the colony store until fruitland park chips in.

Men and women stopping their carts anywhere to ck their lists, answer their cell phones, talk to a friend without regards to the flow of people trying to move up and down the aisles. The word "excuse me" was barely used, people just barged thru as if they were the only ones in the store. Please be aware of your surroundings, smile and do say, excuse me to those around you. And it's not even winter yet!!!! :boxing2:

The worst thing about grocery stores are the inconsiderate people who leave their carts anywhere in the lot. They have those stations for a reason. Nothing worse than watching a perfectly capable human just walk away with cart shoved between two vehicles.

I think part of the problem is that we all define "rude" differently. A lot of what you all seem to define as "rude" I would define as "none of my business and not my problem."

Why wouldn't Villagers sometimes be rude? They come from everywhere in the U.S. and foreign countries. What would make the rude ones suddenly not be rude when they move here?

Personally, I don't recall anyone being purposely rude. I shop at Aldi's.

Here's something to think about: Early stage of dementia: One out of eight people over the age of 65 has Alzheimer's. By age 85, fifty percent have Alzheimer's.

Not in India...only 1% of the population over 65 has dementia or alzheimers. Their diet has a lot of turmeric, good for brain function. Don't mean to go off topic.

Not at all! Some of those who shop in The Villages are NOT Villages residents and they just might bring their lack of friendliness with them when they shop here!
