RUde incident in Giant?

[Anonymous]

op, you're right. OP said she was not near the front of the line- she wasn't making the lady wait any longer. Common decency is that you'll hold the spot of the person in front of you in this scenario. Hell, I'm a new Yorker and I think that.

I would worry about fecal matter if a stranger touched my groceries. I just had to throw away a zucchini bread my new neighbor made for me. I mean, how can I know for sure how it was handled!

Don't you wash your produce when you get home? The kind person loading your groceries is not the first person who touched item.
Let's forget about before the items get into the store. You have the stock person who unloads them and keeps the area tidy so they touch and touch and touch to make sure the display is neat. The person who looked at that item before you and decided against it, the person who dropped it on the floor when they were getting their own item and picked it up. The cashier who scans it and the bag boy. If you are really worried about one more person touching it I am not sure what to say.

OP is an asshole. Left her mother in the car in sweltering temps, forgot something, then tries to push ahead of someone in line and calls them a slob. Wow.

Is there a charm school for post-menopausal women? OP needs to be shipped off ASAP.

You are right, but if I thought about those things I would have to up my meds big time.

LOL typing that made me realize that maybe I need to take over the grape washing duties from my 5 year old and get to scrubbing.

It's not so much about germs actually (although that is a part of it)...it's more a feeling of over familiarity, the person is touching my stuff in the cart. Sorry, I'm trying to explain this but I'm sure that my explanations don't make sense. Yet, the idea of some stranger taking it upon themselves to unload my cart..it bugs me.

OP,

You were not rude or awful, and neither was the other woman. She had every right to move your cart. You were not done shopping. I totally understand when people forget something. But there are also people who do half their shopping while in line. Maybe this person had just experienced someone like that. Or maybe she was having a horrible day. Sure, it would have been more polite to not move your cart, as it would have been more polite for you to simply leave the line and get your stuff. But I don't think either of you were out of line. You just ran into each other on the wrong day. Let it go.

Does it matter? What if the car stalled? That happens sometimes.

+1.
OP leaves her elderly mother in the hot car, butts in front of 15 women of childbearing age patiently flipping through People and Cosmo magazines only to realize the cashier is sitting back waiting for a roll of change because some relic insisted on paying with cash, whatever that is, and of course OP didn't notice the light on that rectangular sign post flashing because she was in such a damn hurry to get back to her mother, who had already passed away by then anyway without, of course, self absorbed OP even noticing, so she butts in front of ten young women on their periods in another line and THEN she has the nerve to ask someone to hold her place while she goes back to get a bottle of water? What is wrong with people?

Face it OP was angry because she had to do an errand with her mother in tow and was in a bad mood before she walked into the Giant. She is looking for an excuse to vent. I say let her vent
