Manners in the supermarket

I seem to be living in a different world as I could not say a bad word for how we get treated at, what I would say, the biggest supermarket in our small town.
I will admit manners can be difficult sometimes in the street but so far nothing that is unusual.

I get sick of people pushing across you to get something...not an excuse me or a thank you! Manners have got worse since Covid! Some people seem to think they have a sense of entitlement these days and not just young people. Also applies to drivers who think the road is theirs and stuff the Highway Code..... Welcome to life in 2025!!

Reading about peoples experiences of poor manners amongst staff I'm beginning to think I live in some sort of parallel universe. Yes if course the occasional person who is not polite but for the most part I find folk friendly and generally well mannered. I would never shout or call out at someone who's manners were different to mine.

When my children were small and I handed them a biscuit etc I would hang on to it until I received a thank you. They are now nearly 60 and have good manners.

Good on this brilliant lady is what I say!

When I worked in Retail I had a particularly obnoxious customer that day.

I was serving another customer and this woman barged up and said to the first customer ''MOVE!''

The first customer snapped ''I will when I've finished being served, and will move if you say please, or isn't such a big adult word in your vocabulary?''

I absolutely died laughing as the obnoxious one stormed out!
