HI. I had a very unfortunate incident in the GIANT this afternoon.
Had my elderly mother in the car waiting. I had picked her up from the senior home she lives in and was shopping for her at the GIANT for only a few items. I was in line to checkout and forgot that I had forgotten the water. I wasn't near the front, so I said to the lady behind me, "I'm so sorry, I'll be back because I forgot something" I ran to get water and ran back in less than a minute. IN the meantime, the lady behind me had moved my cart to the side. I came back huffing and puffing with my water and said "I believe I was ahead of you ma'am. Her response was "I am done with MY shopping and you are not!" I was so exasperated. I ran off with my cart and found another register. To me, this is typical of the rudeness I see in this area. Just nasty and unnecessary rudeness. How should I have handled this? Is it so long to get out of line for a minute if you have forgotten an item. I wanted to dump a container of Cool Whip on this slob's head. |

| Well, she was correct. You don't know what kind of day she was having either. She could have had a crappy day and needed to get home for some reason. It would have been polite of her to wait, but it's not necessary for her to do so. |

| You are rude and awful. You can't hold up the line like that. You should have finished paying and then gone back for whatever you forgot. Nobody cares that your mom was in the car. |

Sorry, OP. In general, if you forgot something, the right thing to do would be to step aside and let others in front of you.
Or, complete checkout, then get water and check out a second time. The woman was rude, but I think you were too. |

Wow. Chill out bitch. I think she said she was back in less than a minute. You sound like a tight ass. Get lost. |

Not to nag Op, but temps are way too hot to be leaving your elderly mother alone in the car while you pop into the store.

That's what I think is the most notable part of this story. |

| I would've let you back in, but I would've thought you were rude and entitled. |

OP, it appears that you think your time is more important than the other person's time (or, as you so graciously put it, this "slob's" time). Who knows who was waiting in her car?
You are the definition of "entitled." |

| Well, it doesn't sound soo bad to me. I've done that before too. It happens. I would have been upset too. You did the right thing by just finding another cashier. I don't think it makes OP "rude and awful" The people who are all yelling at OP sound a little uptight and crazed to me. A lot of these responses are typical DCURBAN MOM too. They are reflective of this rude and uptight area. People don't have the patience around here to let someone go and grab an item they may have forgotten from the shelves. Yeeshhh. |

+1 And who leaves their elderly mother in a car alone?? Could you have not grocery shopped ahead of time, before picking your mom up from the 'Home?" |

| The polite thing to do is to ASK the person behind you IF it is o.k. for you to run get (?). You don't INFORM them that they will be waiting for you - like it or not - that's rude. |

| The lady was very rude. The key point is that OP and the person behind her were both waiting and not near the front. IME, it's totally okay to leave the cart to go get a forgotten item when you'd just be standing there anyway. It's not like she was holding up the line with groceries on the belt--that's a different scenario. |
