I will say "excuse you" in a sharp tone, and folks typically hop to it. Those who do not get a free cart relocation service on the spot.

Absolutely. I had one person go crying to the manager to confront me about it. I told them to not block aisles and the manager agreed and invited them to calm down or leave. feelsgoodman.gif

That’s tough.

My Costco doesn’t have gas: back when I drove a car that ran on dead dinosaurs I wished it did. My town has been refusing to let them put gas pumps in unless they can figure something to do with traffic, but it’s a pretty congested area so they just don’t have any room or road access

"Ha..fuck you milleanial...I'll go back to my house I paid 8 acorns for, enjoy your avocado and costco chicken dinner!"

Why do retired people shop on a saturday.

I thought it was just a joke about the tai chi looking pose = old people in parks.
Did I understand wrong?

Milleanials are old at this point

I think they are just referring to old people taking up extra space in the aisle. OP says they are over stimulated, so they probably don't want to talk to the old person to get them to move.

This is Boomer shit. sociopaths

The super common thing here for geriatrics are to just stand in the literal doorway, seemingly bewildered by the overwhelming number of shiny goods they can see on sale immediately upon entering or perhaps they simply forgot why they were there.

They don't follow driving rules either. Most people on this planet are fucking stupid. It's a valid theory that cannot be disproved. I rest my case.

Middle-aged, not old old.

I went to home depot yesterday to get some plumbing crap, some finish nails, some metal stock, some bolts, and furniture sliders.

Metal stock / finish nail isle, they were remodeling to install tool cages. I could barely get down the aisle, they had 4 ladders and 3 workers, boxes everywhere, carts everywhere. go to plumbing, forklift. wait 5 minutes, get my crap, find out i need sharkbites from another aisle, go down there, same forklift. Fuck, ok, go get the furniture sliders, different forklift. fuck back to bolts, they're in that initial overloaded aisle.

Should have been a 10 minute trip, took 30. place was full of contractors trying to get shit for the day.

A couple in front of me walked into Costco recently and they each went to a separate card reader. What. The. Fuck.

That’s just blatant antisocial behavior.

children literally do this as well lol, but it'll be with one of those small toy trolleys, and they're smaller so you can probably still get around them

I either of those two, depending on if I have a list or not.

Without a list I always try to stand out of the way, but end up taking like 3000 years to decide between different things, so still end up in the way, even trying to be as physically small as possible.

With a list... I'm an unstoppable force (except against the unstoppable force of Woolworths moving the cheese every few weeks to and new exciting locations)
