I was in Debenhams, baby crying, couldn't find the lift to get out.
The only shop assistant on the floor was talking to an elderly gentleman so I waited a few of mins for a gap in the conversation (which was about the weather not sales), but no gap came. So I cut across with
'Sorry, which way is the lift?'
Shop assistant glared at me and said to gentleman 'I am so sorry Sir, if you will give me a moment' turned to me with another glare, told me where lift was and turned back to original customer with another OTT apology.
Is it so wrong to ask a quick question and interrupt? She could have just said 'round the corner then turn left' politely.
Or was I terribly U to have interrupted at all? Please be honest! I'm used to working in a busy hospital where interruptions are the norm.

AIBU to interrupt a shop assistant with a quick question if she is talking to someone else?
