Rant over greengrocers.

Just want a quick rant.
Went to greengrocers today, one person in at a time. Old lady saw me outside, ran in - obviously to get in before I did - whatever, I was still shopping. Anyway, what really annoyed me was after about 30 seconds she then came out, told me she was getting a cabbage, whatever. I was done half a second after she ran in ahead of me. Shop is now empty, besides checkout woman, I go in, money ready to pay. She tells me old lady hasn’t finished, I tell her she’s being ridiculous, she’s outside, I have the money ready. She persists she isn’t finished. I put the stuff back and tell her she’s lost my custom.

Been quite bored with lockdown?

Yes, isn’t everyone? But it’s absolutely ridiculous someone literally ran in to get in first and then had the cheek to shop outside, as I was. Then I couldn’t pay as apparently she’d reserved the shop indefinitely

Next time I’ll just pop in, say I’ve got shopping to do outside and expect other customers to wait.

Would it have been OK if she'd been a young lady?

Nope. Unnecessary to point out she was old.
