I Just Want A Loaf Of Bread

[TruthHurts]

I am doing my grocery shopping when I go into the bread aisle. There is a woman standing there taking up the whole section. She is holding two different packages of hot dog buns and is staring at the list of ingredients rather intently.

I say "Excuse me," The woman flat out ignores me making no effort to move even an inch for me. I assume that she might be hard of hearing as she had not been facing me when I spoke. I get her attention look her right in the eye and say "Excuse me," She stares at me rolls her eyes and again makes no effort to move.


At this point I just reach over her shoulder and grab the bread I needed. She threw both packages into her cart, flipped me off and then stormed off.

I hate people like that. They just will NOT get out of the way.

That's the reason I no longer get my milk at Wal-Mart. It never fails, every Saturday, the nursing home staff lets everyone free, and they all swarm the milk coolers, and just gaze into them. None of them will move so that I can just grab a half gallon.

Oh it just drives me up a wall like none other. It's always the one item you want that someone is in the way and will NOT move.

Oh, man, I hate that. I normally call after them "Have a nice day!"

Now imagine stocking in those same conditions.

Come on, haven't you seen Clerks? They are just looking for the cartons with the expiration date that is the farthest away.

Back in my retail days, we used to put the worst dates at the back. Enough people would just assume they were the best dates and grab them no matter what.

Cut down on wastage.

That's when being able to fart on command would be useful.
What???

Had that problem at Trader Joe's last week. This old-fart couple were blocking one big section of the freezer case and even employed their carts in the job, the old cart-person-person-cart blockade. They weren't even shopping, they were just standing there grousing about the price of fish. Wouldn't budge an inch so that I could reach up and get a container of yummy Triple Ginger Snaps (to those not famliar with TJ's stores, over the freezer cases are shelves that they stock with various types of crackers, cookies, and candies).
After about three of my "excuse me"'s were ignored I finally just stood next to them with my arms crossed, glowering (and yes they'd heard me and yes they saw me), cos I couldn't reach over or around them. When my mom asked if we were done I said, pointedly and loudly, "Nope. Not till these two get their wrinkled asses out of my way so I can get my cookies." I guess the threat of public humiliation did the trick cos they finally moved along to another aisle, probably to do some more block-n-bitch maneuvers.

Talk about reverse psychology on the weak-minded!!

How wonderfully evil!!

If I'm ever pressed into service in the dairy department, I'm going to try that.

Makes ya want to get an axe and remove the obstruction

True that. However it has to be an SBD, so you do not give yourself away as the farter, and SBD is not something I do.

I can cropdust......

I am just imagining you swooping down over a cluster of SCs and their cart blockade releasing a constant SBD stream over them.

[coldcupofjoe]

Great justZu. Now I have THAT image stuck in my mind...
