I could be annoying right back. Like stop in the rice aisle for 30 minutes and ask her opinion on all the various kinds of rice, how to cook it, etc etc. Then move on to the tampon aisle.

I’ll keep this in mind the next time I’m at Publix in … Nippers Corner. Super helpful hyper local info here.

I don’t think that woman was trying to be…cute.

Yep. Nothing will happen.

I’m actually tempted to start doing it myself, because why shouldn’t I?

Nippers Corner, Nashville?

Why, OP, do you think that person is reading here?

This has happened to me before but it was a long time ago.

In Loudoun there are a lot of people asking you to buy them some groceries and the next thing you know they have a cart full of expensive groceries. I wouldn’t have a problem telling them no but apparently it works sometimes.

I would be unnerved if someone followed me through the store. But I would also push out a fart hard right when they were directly behind me and then just go "oh sorry"
Passive aggressive sure, but also appropriately disgusting works for me!

I’m going to follow them even harder now

The fact that it is on Nextdoor tells you all you need to know.

Tell the security guard

What?

It's not a trend, except on your social media. Which means the problem is you.
