Maybe an air horn is the solution for shoppers who are irritated with others who block their way in the aisles.

That should get their attention.

I cannot wait until the new Publix on 44 opens.

What I think the poster of this thread is saying is
why are SOME people so rude? I think it begins with a
sense of entitlement. They seem to be in their own
little world and don't seem concerned with anyone
around them.

Like one poster said, we have a percentage of
Those people like anywhere else. Thank goodness
they seem to be the minority.
Thank you for getting what I was trying to say!! It doesn't matter WHERE I shopped, or WHAT TIME OF DAY I shopped, I too shop and check my list.....however, I try to be mindful of those around me and move to one side, I say Excuse me, and have smiled till my jaws hurt.......however, some people are just clueless and need to be reminded that we are all there trying to accomplish the same thing with the least amount of stress. Alittle kindness and being aware of others would just go a long way.

Don't count on there being capers, not if I've been there.:evil6:

A lot of the problem is retailers that insist on clogging the isles with displays, that take up passing lanes. :cus:

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.
