People blocking isles and running into my basket and going too fast when they turn corners. Ok, where have manners gone to? Does shopping just eliminate manners, do they go on hold, whats the deal? Then some big huge guy just decides to walk backwards right into me lol shhheshhhhhhhhh Anyone else seeing this or having this experience?

Oh yea! I think they need to install blinkers and headlights on the carts too. Mirrors on the ends of the aisles would be helpful to avoid a head on collision with another cart.

If you are just now experiencing this you are lucky. That has been happening here for way too many years. And it seems like they all like to meet up and stand in the middle of the isle to chat like long lost friends and then they leave and you hear them say they will see them later at such and such place. It is really irritating also to be in line at the check out and they keep bumping you in the behind with the cart.

Boy can I relate with this one. We were at WalMart the other night using the $100 gift card we got from my MIL and people were driving their carts really crazily and not paying attention and most of the time not caring if they hit someone as well. So I was really wondering how come people are like this, and wonder what they are like on the road, and made a comment that if they are like this, I hope they are not like that on the road.

It seems to be the most dangerous and now when so many people are there , the store isnt large enough anyway. I would not be surprised if we dont see expansions in the Walmarts in the near future. Happy New Years to you!

I reckon they should make people have lessons in driving shopping carts, some people are aisle hogs (as in road hogs!!!) put someone in front of a shopping cart and it's lethal! It's as if the cart has a mind of it's own and starts to possess the person who is pushing it! Mind you it's like that with driving isn't it. Something about driving a machine, cart or gadget that seems to forgo manners and people become selfish! People are always in such a hurry too which adds to the problem. Those carts are quite lethal if they bang into you, especially your ankles, shins and heels.

Thats so true. It was dangerous at Walmarts because people were going so fast, by the time they see you, its too late to stop . I have never seen it as bad as Walmarts anywhere but you are right, they need to give lessons....or we will have to start wearing padded protectors lke football players lol

Even the store employees are careless and run into things and blocking the aisles and getting in the way. They are rude and careless. Of course tonight someone let my client go in front of her when we were waiting in line to do a return, so that was nice.

My personal favorite is when they run into you with their shopping cart and don't so much as say excuse me. They just keep walking. I usually say rather loudly, HOW RUDE!

Isnt that so true. Good for you because if it makes someone think then maybe they will treat others better in the future. It may take more people like you to make a difference. I wonder if they understand what the word rude means anymore????
