I hate going to large stores where they are crowded.
My schedule doesn't really allow me to go at off times.
I'm Specifically talking about Wegmans Grocery store.
When I go I see so many inconsiderate shoppers.
Shoppers who:
block the shelves with their carts
Park carts in the center of isle intersections
bring in 3-4 kids to make a crowd around their parents cart
little kids pushiing carts for the parent who can't see where they are going
people walking very slowly, looking for something, and holding up 3-6 shoppers in back
shoppers asking a LOT of questions about something they aren't even going to buy
people cutting others off as they bully themselves along, and then stopping so as to block those behind, making a big jam of folks trying to get around each other.
Parents who let their kids run all around the store playing chase or keepaway or somesuch
people who run into a friend and stand there yacking while blocking the isles.
people who get into the 10 items or less lane with 19 items

Grocery Stores are lame.
Once I started living on my own I realized what a chore it was. I started shopping no earlier than 9 pm, but even when I went earlier, I timed myself.
$120 in 20 minutes is my Holy Grail of records, though $110 in 15, but it doesn't count since I suspended the time because I forgot my wallet.
Edit; Let it be known I am shopping JUST for myself, a beefy 5'10" 120 lbs male.

Inconsiderate shopper can certainly be an annoyance. We need to return to being polite.

I agree with being polite especially with store employees. It is not their fault that someone forgot to buy baking soda just before Thanksgiving and the shopper has to wait in line for 20 minutes.
I think the fact that I had to deal with an ungreatful public day after day for 4 years make me a better customer. Even when an employee is rude, I just raised my eyebrow and let her or him be; maybe he or she had a really bad customer before me.

I believe the more appropriate response would have been "F that!"
