:highfive: Hooray for the young woman who changed her mind after The Villager comment was made, please. I can see how the OP would be offended that wasn't very nice but I think it is good that you evened the score rite here instead of letting the situation escalate in the store, good decision! :highfive:

I don't know what makes people think that because they are old or fortunate enough to live her they are somehow better than everyone else.
I have had older women let me go ahead of them in line when I only have 2 items and they have 9 or so. This happens quite often too and in different stores. I visit many different Villages' area Winn-Dixies and Publixes from the far north end to the far south one. It is probably because I am such a handsome young man. ;)

Oh Trish, wonder if it was the same woman who walked in front of folks at the self checkout line at Walmart? She said because she was a Villager that was her right. I heard this from a nice young couple and assured these folks we are all NOT like that! I do understand why (sometimes) we Villagers are thought of as rude.

A few bad apples.....oh and we will all be judged!

We are so blessed to live in this wonderful place....hence my name :)

Rude and pushy people come from all states.

I think a lot of it is where they come from!

I try not to tell people I live in the Villages. I say Lady Lake.

I usually proudly say the Villages. As I am about a mile south of the Villages High School. No where near Lady Lake.

I do use the Lady Lake Library quite a bit. Nice people there.

Unfortunately, this appears to be a "woman" thing and from my observation the person involved is usually older and appears to be very well dressed. Should we say "entitled".

HOWEVER, my otherhalf has a great reply for this, he says if he was the cashier he would let her unload everything onto the belt and then say "now, Madam, which 10 items of these would you like me to check out?"

He probably read this somewhere in a magazine, but it always comes to mind when I see someone doing it.

:agree:

They can't count to ten but if they give the cashier a $100, I'll bet they can their $47 in change. :smiley:

Didn't someone of seniority once get to the front of a line by proclaiming they were a priority member? Now that a hoot! It's all free entertainment. Don't get angry try to see the humor in these situations.

Well I do wonder if six separate yogurts of the same brand and flavor are six items or one?

Lots of people have groups of one product which often add up to way more than 10.

It wasn't nice but perhaps at his advanced age it could be a dementia problem. Who knowS?
