To think this man was uneccessarily rude?

[Bluesheep8]

I went to a large supermarket yesterday for the first time since lockdown started. I have been to shops, but just my local village convenience store and greengrocers.
Its my usual supermarket. Parked my car and walked to get a trolley. Dr some reason, habitual behaviour took over so I just instinctively walked towards the door.
I then became aware of a man laughing loudly and exageratedly at me and pointing whilst shaking his head, then gesturing at the massive queue down the side of the building behind him (which I hadn't seen from the front of the store)
It made me feel really stupid and he seemed very keen to make others aware of my mistake.
I didn't say anything apart from "oops" and skunk to the back of the queue.
AIBU to think this was really rude?

Less rude than attempting to queue jump. Everyone I saw doing it yesterday had a conversation with security about why they shouldn't have to queue.

Would you rather he'd shouted at you?

Yabvu everyone knows that you queue for the super market.

I didn't until 2 days ago!
I haven't been to the supermarket in about 3 weeks and I couldn't understand what was going on until someone asked me do they need to queue (they didn't know either) and then it clicked - so I made out like I was looking for the end as it snaked around.

I did it. Then I saw several people do it. Habit of a lifetime. Preoccupied. You made an easy mistake. Forget it.

He sounds like a knob.

Yanbu he sounds like a right twat.

In a whole line of people it had to be this loudmouth that chose to humiliate you rather than shut up knowing the shop staff at the door would direct you accordingly.

Hopefully a bird shat on his head in the queue shortly afterwards

He was rude. I was fully aware of the queuing thing when I did my first big lockdown shop and still I didn't realise that the people dotted off into the distance were the actual queue as it wasn't clear at first. Similarly at our corner shop people still breeze in not realising that the widely spaced people along the pavement aren't just passers by. It's an odd situation. (I also don't think people who are being shopped for realise how difficult it is to shop when they come up with long eclectic list of very specific things they need but I understand they couldn't possibly realise unless they'd been to the shop)

Nope he was horribly rude. Someone was foul to us just before the shutdown when we did something similar. It's easily done. There was absolutely no need to behave like -a twat- like that.

We were queuing, someone stood in the gap in front of us thinking it was the end of the queue because we had left a bigger gap to let people out, we just said nicely, he realised, we all smiled and he joined the back of the queue.

Difficult circumstances but we can still all be decent to each other.

Take no notice and forget about it.

I did it accidentally too OP. Hadn't been near a supermarket in weeks and just went to the door I usually go to on autopilot. Felt a bit silly when security guard pointed out the queue! Don't worry about it. These are strange times, people are behaving strangely.

I’ve been going to Asda because that was where I went first after lockdown and I know “how Asda works”....Tesco is nearer but I don’t know where to queue etc...
