For being rude to an old lady

[ThePerkyCoralPoet]

Doing my food shop at m&s, I was rushing to pick someone up after. I needed some jam. Lady was in the way. I said “excuse me sorry can I just grab that” she just stood there so I proceeded to reach for the jam.

She gave me the most disgusting look I have ever recieved.

So because today has been a long day I said “ I did actually say excuse me and I did actually ask you to move out of the way” to which she responded “it’s such a me first attitude” I said “you do realise you’re in a supermarket. And you don’t own the supermarket. We all have places to be and people to see darling” and I walked off.

am I missing something here. Have I not used correct supermarket etiquette

Good, you were rude, patronising and embarrassing, why didn't you just wait. If this did actually happen.

TBF I do what the OP did all the time (reach around people if they don't move when I say excuse me) and this is in WAITROSE awaits barrage of abuse

If I waited for every old person to move out of my way in my local one I'd be in there for days!

This ⬆️

good point! I like apricot myself

Maybe shop elsewhere then or get deliveries

I did actually ask you to move out of the way - you said that????

Fgs, what's the problem with not getting something the exact moment you want it? Waiting 2 minutes to get a jar of jam because someone was in the way? Then you were rude and patronising?
Awful.

@Katemax82 I wasn't offering to share, don't worry

Yes, your response was rude and disrespectful

Ugh, you sound revolting and pathetic, completely up your own arse. Adding ‘darling’ to the end of the sentence indicates you are a grade A twat.

You sound like an insufferable arse frankly.

Quite.

IMO you were unreasonable.
you sound like a petulant child.

👌

This! I don't think you were rude either.

Who knew some old people in the supermarket could add hours on to your shopping experience? 🙄
Ridiculous hype.

True!

You were incredibly rude whatever her age.

I'm an old lady and I would have definitely got out of your way as that sort of thing annoys me too.

This.

You don't get to demand that people move out of your way. You asked and she declined.

You were rude to push past.

I think I would have just left it after the 'disgusting look.' She was annoying. You were annoying. People just are sometimes. Non event at the supermarket.

I hope it’s quite soon

I totally agree!
I was once shopping with a broken ankle and was in one of the supermarket’s wheelchairs. A man actually pushed the wheelchair out of his way to reach something.
For unnecessary context, it was Waitrose in the chilled dairy aisle.

I was so shocked at the way a wheelchair user was treated as an inanimate object I was unable to speak 😡
It was a real eye opener in the world of a wheelchair user.

He may have spoken but he was behind me and as previously mentioned, I’m deaf.

Pineapple !!
