I just returned home from Wal-Mart not long ago and have to vent about my experience.
As I walked the aisles, it seemed that I could not get away from a family with three of the loudest, most obnoxious kids. Not toddlers. These were older, grade school kids. I mean, Wal-Mart is huge and if you can hear kids screaming from across the store, you know they are being loud. I tried to ignore them and focus on my shopping, but much to my dismay, I ended up having a slight run-in with them and their mother.
I was in the dairy section, trying to get to the sour cream. These kids were jumping around all over the place between the yogurt and other dairy products. I tried to wait patiently until they moved, but they and their mom were oblivious to the fact that other people may actually want to get to the products they were so rudely blocking.
Finally, I made my way around them to the sour cream. As I was reaching for my last pint, their mother pushed around me, stepped on my toe and reached up to grab some cottage cheese. I seriously thought I was going to blow a gasket! I mean, here I am 9+ months pregnant, trying to be polite, and she has the nerve to basically push me out of the way! She gave me a quick apology, but at this point I was furious. I grabbed my cart and headed for the bacon.
As I was walking to the meat section, I could see out of the corner of my eye that they were behind me and gaining on me. I decided that I needed to do something to inconvenience them just as they had been inconveniencing other shoppers all night. So I waited until they were fairly close, swerved my cart over and cut them off! They didn't say anything and probably were oblivious to this just as they were to everything else in the store tonight. But, I have to say that it made me feel better. It may not have been the boldest move ever made, but I was satisfied.
Maybe next time they will think twice about coming between a woman and her dairy products.
