Pull out his airpod and chuck it away

I put my basket on the till, turned away to get a bag. Turned back, couldn't see my shopping basket – someone had put their basket ON my basket and were scanning their items. When I remonstrated with them, they said: 'What are you going to do about it?' Then ignored me. I swear, next time I'm going to pull the entitled tosser's bloody airpod out… What is going on?! I've never come across such dickish behaviour before.

Was there stuff in your basket? Was it your own basket that you were going to take with you?

Self service, they're kept pretty busy. wouldn't expect her to get involved anyway to be fair.

It's a busy, urban mixed area, but people generally behave fairly reasonably. Even dare I say it, kindly. Are you saying you'd put your shopping basket on someone else's and not realise? Then not apologise?

Did the cashier not say anything??

They probably were in a daze and not thinking straight. Why would you grab something out their ear? If someone did that to me I'd be terrified. Yes they didn't handle it well but they were probably like oh shit when you started "remonstrating" in some areas it's kill or be killed.
