Grocery store sighting

It may have been less than a minute, but it could have been a minute, I'm not sure. I just know it was really irritating especially as she saw all of us waiting.

SO said that he's not surprised, as there are idiots all the time that do the same thing to him when he's trying to set out stock.

A minute or so? You all have patience!

When I want someone to move out of my way I might give them, oooooh, around 5-10 seconds.

Granted I shouldn't have been irritated

With the audacity of that lady to not only ignore you but then when asked to politely move she says in plain earshot more or less that you can screw off and can't tell her what to do you have every right to be irritated.

I was at the store today, doing some shopping and my last stop was at the frozen section to get some chicken breasts. In front of the freezer display(it's really a bunker) was a woman standing there yakking on her phone. Two other customers were waiting patiently for her to move. After a few moments, she saw us moved just a few inches, then went back to her call.

This went on for a minute or so and I finally had enough. It was bad enough she was yakking her personal info over the phone; if one of us had a pencil and paper we could have gotten her credit card number, as she was apparently ordering something over the phone.

I finally spoke up.

Me: Ma'am I'm sorry, but could you please move so we can get into the bunker there?
Woman: *glares, then moves off* Would you believe that? Some girl thinks she can tell me what to do. *goes back to yakking on her phone and blocking us*
Me: *irritated* Lady, there are other people besides you in the store! Please move!

The lady walked off, saying she was going to get the manager to kick me out. I didn't care because the manager was right behind me and trying not to laugh.

He said after she'd left that he'd never kick me out because he knows that SO would give him a hard time about it, and the lady was in the wrong. He's a pretty cool manager.

Granted I shouldn't have been irritated, but I woke up with a tension headache and I needed to get this done today before the sales finally went off for the new ones next week.
