(21,925 posts)I'd rather go more often but use a hand basket, unless I need to buy water. Even then, it's hard to make my way through the store. I find that the shoppers have become more and more rude as time goes by. They stop their cart on one side of the aisle and stand in the other, leisurely lounging around while they read the labels, oblivious that people are trying to get by them. Going in or coming out of the store, I find that a lot of shoppers act as if I'm invisible, launching themselves and their carts right at me and forcing me to step aside to avoid a head-on collision, usually using the entry way for the exit door without batting an eye. Much like the way people go crazy when they get behind the wheel of a car, I find they also become intentional road hogs or bulldozers when they get behind a shopping cart.

...And then, there's the others...the people who must be some sort of alien Hog-Thing.
They push their cart down the aisle like some ancient King expecting all other humans to bow down and appease them.
"Hear Ye Hear Ye..make way for the Royal food gatherer...move thy miserable self out of the way to enable his chosen one to completely swamp the holy Aisle with his/her magnificent presence"
"WHAT????...THY want to travel down the jewel-encrusted path to the organic matter.??? Be gone with you....how DARE thy complain when the Royals have left thee 8 inches to traverse the aisle."

(30,947 posts)I have to use a shopping cart because I buy more than what would fit in a hand basket. And if anyone gets in the way and blocks the aisle, I just say,"Excuse me," very loudly and tap their cart with mine. They usually get the message.
