Anyone else deal with passive aggressive chicken people at TSC?

Those who go through life as if their actions have no impact on others. There are many in many places. For me this is far more likely to happen at the grocery store.

Agreed!

Thats pretty much everywhere. Or maybe she was waiting for you to move but you missed she was there?

I do not know if this is the case, but sometimes people are unaware of others or their surroundings. I have walked behind people, that have walked really slow. I think, oh, I will just get around them, but then they also drift from side to side, so you cannot squeeze past on that side, you move to slip past over there, and they start to drift in that direction too. Eventually you have to excuse yourself to get past, or you will only go as fast as the slowest person. (Now imagine that with a shopping cart.)

This may also happen in the grocery store, where there may be a long line, but a lady is in front, chatting to the cashier about her cat, or hairpin collection, I realize that lady is lonely and all, but I guess that is why they have self check-out.

Isn't this what people do on the roadways when someone is riding their butt?
Never thought about doing it in a store with shopping carts but I'm thinking about it now....

My TSC is pretty tame but I do have troubles at the grocery store. I'm in the USA so most stores are gigantic, but even so they don't accommodate both a buggy on one side and its owner floating in the middle, trying to pick the right variant and price out of 10 different options.

For myself, I try to stay behind my cart until I've figured out which thing to grab and I limit how long I look if someone is nearby. But I've still been grumbled at. You can only do your best and you don't have eyes in the back of your head! I've genuinely known some people to be grumpy just because a store has other people in it; can't do anything about those.

I don't know how they do it on the moon, but your lane is to the right, moonshine-y.

My bad. I thought I owned the whole road.

I usually leave my cart near the end parked sideways with the front wheels popped up onto the bottom shelf so it don't wonder away while wonder around an isle until I have everything I want from that isle. Then I lug it all back to my cart to repeat in the next isle.
