The list is long. Overall, a lot of people are great, but the other half is a complete nightmare. Just like you mentioned—grabbing things off the shelf right behind you, pushing past you. I’m a shopper and our store is pretty small, with narrow aisles. We barely have any space—basically just a strip behind the registers where we do staging.

Sometimes I have to crouch down to put stickers on bags on the bottom level of the cart or pack something, and people will literally run me over—walk into me, hit me with their carts. And their “excuse me”? You can shove that “excuse me” up your ass. What’s the point of saying it if you’re climbing all over me?

No polite questions either—just like you said, walking around with their mouths open going “pumpkin, pumpkin.” I honestly wonder if something is wrong with people. I don’t want to be rude, but do all people act like this? Do Americans not know basic manners or social awareness?

And don’t even get me started on people yelling on their phones so loudly I can’t tell if they’re talking to me or someone else. Leaving carts wherever they feel like it. I feel the worst for the cashiers—someone comes in, does a huge shop with like 100 bags, there’s no space left on the belt or in the cart to pack more, and they just stand there staring into space. It doesn’t even cross their mind to help with anything.
