Who was in the wrong? Lidl row and 1st world issue ..

[MadameBee]

Stood by closed checkout 1 about to put join queue to checkout 2.

Checkout one opens and 2 people in queue 2 stay put, I then start putting my goods on checkout 1 conveyer belt. Two people from queue 2 then transfer their goods from conveyer belt 2 to conveyer belt one, in the gap ahead of my goods. I was taken aback but said nothing, women behind me rolls her eyes at me.

Women transferring goods then says to me quite irritated “can you move your things back because I can’t fit all my stuff on” I say “that’s because I put my things on before you did” she then gets all angry and says “I was actually ahead of you in the other queue and you pushed in, but if it means that much to you, you can go in front of me if you like?” I said as I reached for shopping bags “it doesn’t, that’s why I didn’t say anything?” she continues “well it obviously does as you are saying something now!” Which I ignored.

Did I push in as I would usually let queuing baskets ahead of me if a new till opened

Whoever gets to the newly opening aisle first, is the first in that new queue. YANBU.

Do you mean a 1st world problem?
Quite sure 3rd world problem isn't few words exchange over a till position....

Yes sorry

I have requested title change ....

Definitely not a 3rd world problem!!!

But yanbu

Of course it's who ever gets to the new till first, ywnbu

I always gesture to other baskets 🤷‍♀️

She's a crazy woman. YANBU.

They shouldn’t have put their stuff in front of yours. But as others have said, a new till is a free-for-all!

You were first in the queue!

Yeah you snooze you lose when it comes to checkout queues everyone knows that YWNBU

Nah, she could have stayed in queue 2, assuming that wasn't closing? YANBU. If her till was closing, I've got splinters up my bum.

This is why it would be great if there could be one queue & everyone went to the next available checkout.

Obvs not workable though.

Yup-it's everyone for themselves!

So did the stuff that was put in front of yours get moved & you stayed first in the queue?

No I shoved my stuff back

Then we had to stand there awkwardly in the queue 🤣🤣

Lidl is the only supermarket I have been in where people with a few items only will simply walk in front of you in the queue and then look round and ask if you mind.

I always let people behind go first if they don't have much but feel like saying yes I do mind, go to the back of the queue.

Never happened anywhere else.

"No I shoved my stuff back"

Oh good!

Off topic but has there been some kind of woke adjustment in use of "woman" and "women" I don't know about? I mean like using the plural pronouns for people who don't identify as a binary gender?

Eh?

Next time - don’t leave a gap!

New Lidls have got self service tills which avoids the awkward few items problem. 😃

But YANBU

OP, you used the plural, hence (fake) confusion

Yes leaving the gap was a schoolgirl error.

Clearly she isn't a regular Lidl/Aldi shopper
First there first served😁

As far as I know
Woman=1 person
Women= more than one

I was wondering if it's been changed and I didn't know as "women" for one person seems to have cropped up a lot on here lately and I am often out of date.
