Was I AIBU to walk out of supermarket.

I went to a supermarket which isn't my usual one today. There was a queue outside, but it moved pretty fast and was ably managed by staff who were also helpfully cleaning trollies. All well and good. However, inside was a different matter, it felt really busy and barely any of the customers (the majority of which were waring face masks) were adhering to the social distancing rules. I had a woman reach round me to get something and people were passing really close.

I got to the end with of an aisle which was blocked by 3 members of staff 2 of the large trollies they use to stack shelves. I couldn't safely pass so I turned around and tried to go up the next aisle which was empty and was loudly told off my a member of staff for not following the arrows, I tried to explain that I couldn't get up the other aisle but he just walked off. At that point I picked my shopping bags out of my trolley and walked out. Was I unreasonable.

I'm not sure why you're even asking if YBU? The supermarket staff don't care that you walked out, so your disagreement only affects you. As someone else pointed out, after you stormed out of supermarket, you had to go & start the whole process again somewhere else. Only person who loses is you. Why are you asking for our opinion?

Dramatic reaction and now some of the food will be spoiled because it will.take a while to figure out it is all abandoned. If you had a problem you could let the shop know rather than storm off like an overgrown toddler.

@recycledbottle RTFT it was lemons and a card

Although I did think about this thread while I moved some abandoned mousse into in the bread aisle to the chilled aisle yesterday.

My DH does the weekly food shop because I’m heavily pregnant and he has said it’s been this way for about three weeks now, since VE Day. People have just given up and are back to acting like nothing ever happened.

Partly the governments fault, they’re trying to portray an image of covid almost being dead and buried so they can get the economy back up and running.

I don't know why a pp mentioned getting coughed at in the face - has that actually happened to anyone here?

Yes it has along with numerous other colleagues. All by disgusting disgruntled customers who we have politely asked to follow the arrows on the aisles or maintain social distancing in queues and in one case for refusing to take the cash they had just put in their mouth whilst using their hands to find the odd bits of change in their purse.
