Made a scene at Family Dollar today.

I was out and about with my daughter today. We stopped for lunch from Wawa (beef brisket sandwiches) and then just drove around all over.
I got Debra to stop at the Family Dollar for me so I could pick up some medical supplies. It took me a while because, naturally, what I needed was in the very last aisle farthest from the door. Picked up a few food items as well and went to the checkout. 
After I paid, I started pushing my cart away from the counter and proceeded to knock down an entire display of lollipops like the ones in the picture after the cart caught the corner. 
The lady behind me saw me struggling to pick the rack up and stepped up to help me. I managed to grab two of them and set them up out of the way so no one tripped over them. I put the cart away and walked out with my purchases.
When I got in the car and told my daughter, she burst out laughing and told the dog, who was along for the ride, that grandma was in the store causing trouble. Can't take her anywhere! One thing my kids can do well is get me laughing and that's just what she did. I still felt bad, but was able to laugh about it. I'm just glad it wasn't a display of glass items.

The important thing is we can laugh at ourselves from time to time. I've been known to knock over a few diisplays in stores or get caught in tight corrners. No one got hurt and the candy cleaned up easily.

Good thing you had a bit of help.

What she said, it happens. At least you understood and will will do it better next time, its the people who cannot do that who worry me. I can tell you doing it right if kids already know, sounds like production to me. Well done.
