Shopping etiquette

Is it wrong to commandeer someone's shopping cart, when it appears to have been abandoned ?

I drew a diagram a while back. Can't find it in the photobucket.

 I'll leave my cart on an end cap if an aisle is crowded as golly, to rush in and get my poo. If you need to get to the end cap, feel free to move my poo, but please leave it within ten feet.

If it's in an aisle, slap the motherfucking poo out of me, as I've obviously run out of brain sugar, and need to be beaten.

But if I'm pulling sour cream out of the cold case, and you slam your cart into mine, I'm going to golly your day up by just holding my cart in place while you damage your hip. (this has happened a lot, and the fat bitches always look shocked when I let them bounce off of the cart.)

golly I wish I had the money to shop anywhere but walmart.

I hate shopping so it's all about getting in and out of the store as fast as possible. I tend to lunge, grab, and run.  ;D

You must shop during rush hour. The best time to go food shopping is the middle of week early afternoon. Everyone's at work or in school. It's a peaceful shopping experience.


Sometimes I will do the same if I'm in the rush but I actually like shopping.

At Christmas I shop at 2-3am in the morning.  I only do it once or twice, but I can get all the crimbo shopping done without any pushing and shoving.

You wouldn't want to do that in Lambeth.  Just the thought is scary.

Lamberth would have been a doddle  ;D ;D
Some of the scenes I have seen on the TV/Internet were scary.

I just had to spend most of said Black friday at the German Christmas Market in Birmingham.
Sad really as the beer was so good and the sausages as well  8)

That Black Friday poo just has to stop.  People start looting off each other. That's just absurd.

They should just give people a token for what they want to purchase while they are queuing and in their particular queue order.  After all the best deals are accounted for, the rest can be a free-for-all.

Yeah, I've worked at places that have tried this, just made things an even bigger clusterfuck with angry screaming fat people.

Why are the fat so angry?

The point is that at least you have a system you can police.  That is impossible with the current "Land run" system. All stewards can do is ask folk not to kill one another.

... and why is looting seen as a protest? From each other (Black Friday) or from anyone else (Ferguson).

It's a monkey see, monkey do scenario. The ability to stop and think seems to be completely removed from people's minds.

That woman in the news who stopped the guy from looting the TV from her trolley, and said "what kind of behaviour is that" to him, really woke me up to just how bad his behaviour was.  I was becoming desensitised before that.

I don't think looting is seen has a protest. its just people taking advantage of a situation and committing several crimes. That most likely wont get arrested for.
