Yes OMGsh
I swear some people don't think while they shop. They don't look before they pull out of an aisle. And then if you get two people one on each side price shopping and neither one realizes that they are holding up traffic. I think they might need crossing guards.

Whackydotter & Bo.
Yeppers luv, I've benn caught in that grocery store gridlock. The thing that makes me mad these days is the stores are only carrying THEIR own brands and I hate Presiden't Choice. It seems now we don't buy what we want but rather whay they sell. You've always got such sensible and fun posts luv. Blah

hahaha Whacky girl, it's the truth, isn't it?

The only way some people eat is to steal food, they just can't afford it no matter what.  I don't know if I'd want to eat corn flakes out of somebody's underwear though.  I'd have to be awfully hungry (and maybe not know where they've been).  You come up with the darndest things.  hahaha  I love it.  Love, Maggie

A  for you and a  for Bo.  Does he like corn flakes?

I don't know about your locale, Whacky, but up here Tuesday is the best day to go shopping.  It has been nicknamed 'senior's' day.  The only problem is that the old biddies don't know how to reverse their karts.

Hi Whacky & Bo!
Do you know what's even more frustrating? When you go somewhere with those very narrow isles and in the middle of them they have those poles.
Are they supposed to be holding up the building with them? I don't much get why they are there.
While trying to avoid other carts, you end up slamming into a pole.

For sure...
And don't you know it's the morbidly obese 28-year old on the motorized shopping cart unable to choose between Hostess Ho Hos or pork rinds.  But since they are in the disabled card, you can't really be rude now can you?  Even if they are.

I run into it every time I am at the store. I think the aisles are small to cause the gridlock so we will see something we don't need and buy it anyway! Great story! sam

Dreadful! So far I have been spared that experience, but I have been caught behind someone with a month's supply of groceries in her cart ahead of me at the 1 - 8 item check-out, and me with a pint of milk... ! I didn't know whether to kill the customer or the cashier, so they're still alive..., and an ear scratch for =^..^=

Whacky, I often go to the grocery store in the middle of the night just so I can take all the time I want making up my mind without causing a shopping cart traffic tie-up.  The only downside of shopping then is that they never have any little tasty free samples cooking for tasting.

LOL Perhaps now we need personal insurance to drive one of those carts!
kisses for you darlin' and pats for the wonder dog.
