A Fight in a Store

I recently went to a store to return something I could not use. There was not much room upfront. There were circles on the floor in a semi-circle arrangement for social distancing. I was standing on one of the spots and saw a woman in a wheelchair heading for the checkout.
A couple of people started yelling at her to wait her turn. Then a man walked in and ran in front of her saying that he was more important so he gets to go first. Then people were yelling at the woman and others the man. Everyone was yelling at everyone else.
I decided to leave and forget returning the item. I don't know what happened after that.
Have you seen any incidents involving distancing, masks, or other coronavirus misery? How did it make you feel?

I've seen videos of such fights . . . but I am glad I have not personally been near one. Sometimes I feel like manners have gone out the door . . . why can't people be more diplomatic and kinder about these incidents - is there really a need to yell 
?
?

That man was really rude. He should have let the woman in the wheelchair go first. Ugh! I guess he doesn't have a third age mom, dad or grandparent.

I really don't understand why people have to do this sort of stuff. Surely there are better ways of dealing with situations.
