Happened to me, and I was a freaking customer myself! Well, a bit of backstory first though since this involves our daughter. She's 20 months old, and her new favorite thing to do in stores is to get *right* down by your feet and help you push the cart along. Its an easy way to keep an eye on her, it makes her happy, and by god it's darn cute. Only problem is of course, she'll keep trying to push it even when you stop. So when we're checking out, we have to snatch her on up or else she'll keep trying to push the cart out of the aisle. (The Walmart people think it's hilarious to watch her pushing the carts around, lol)
Anyways, we're heading to the checkout...it'd been a long 10 minute shopping spree at our local Wally Mart. For a total of THREE items, yeay us. We start to enter one checkout's line, and I stopped for a minute to try and get some stuff out to put on the belt. Now, in between us and the next person in line, there's maybe space for almost another cart, right?
Hubby reaches down to scoop up the daughter, and right as he does, this woman comes FLYING up with a cartload of groceries and stuff. And I mean flying. She was RUNNING. And I also mean cartload - it was stuffed like she was restocking an underground bunker. She almost runs over my kid, who thankfully is quickly grabbed up by my hubby, and then she angles her cart into the space. She gives us this SMUG smile, and then starts to unload her stuff onto the belt.
There were other people who saw this...their jaws just dropped open...and even the cashier in that line was shocked. Did that faze her? Oh of course not.
Thankfully, someone in the other checkout line was nice enough to let us go in front of them. As they said, we did only have three items, and they "felt bad watching that b**** do that to a poor pregnant woman." (I'm 37 weeks, bleh. I look and feel like a blimp.)
I swear, I need a "SC Appreciation Bat" for times like this.
