Yeah, People Are On Edge And Rude

I've encountered no rudeness at all while shopping. Quite the opposite. I've noticed people being extra considerate and going out of their way to be pleasant.

One store has one-way aisles. No biggie. If I need to double back, I just loop around and get what I need.

My observation is that most stores, employees and shoppers are doing the best they can under extraordinary conditions.

I take a moment to compliment managers and thank employees for coming to work that day. Just by being there, they are risking their health. I appreciate them serving my needs.

Same here StarSong, I also have thanked workers for doing such a good job during this trying time. When I get something delivered, I also give a larger tip than usual because of the current situation. I appreciate all those in stores, restaurants and doing deliveries for making it possible for all of us to get through this crisis as best as possible.
 

Holly, your system sounds worse than mine. Is it possible for you to call in your order and just have it delivered? That's what many people are doing here.

Perhaps you should have exchanged places with him, and gone to the back of the line. Other people are tired and don't like waiting, either.

Nobody likes when people cut into the line that they've been standing and waiting in. It was nice that you let him go in front of you, but as someone already suggested, that should have followed with you moving to the end of the line, so the same number of people were in front of those behind you. In my opinion, that would have been the considerate thing to do for all concerned. The folks behind you were not rude, if that guy really had trouble standing, perhaps he should have been using a sit down motorized cart in the store.

Honestly, I just started going out again for some needed shopping, been to Costco, Sam's Club and Kroger supermarket....today I'm going to Walmart. I have been pleasantly surprised at how nice and considerate everyone has been. I haven't witnessed anyone being rude or nasty to others, everybody seems to understand the different rules and are very patient and courteous.

It's not quite that simple. I had already been waiting in line for 15 minutes. I have bad varicose veins & prolonged standing makes the condition worse, so I wasn't about to go to the back of the line. The guy I let in front of me obviously was in worse shape than me.

Well and good. But in the meantime you disregarded others that might have the same problems.

Sorry. I know you like to be the hero in all of your tall tales.

Sorry. I know being a put-down artist is how you feel better about yourself.
Who knows? Perhaps even you could do something nice someday....
