Rudeness from a stranger in public

DH and I often invite shoppers with a few items to go ahead of us in Lidl where we usually shop here or in France. This is met with gratitude here but with incredulity in France!! It probably confirms their suspicions about the weird Brits!

Also, if it’s something we’re not familiar with, and takes a bit longer to work out what to do, any ‘regulars’ like to show how quick and clever they are, knowing what’s required.

I think in general there is less patience around acdc. I’ve noticed a lot of huffing and puffing in supermarket queues lately although recently a young man waved us to go first as he had a trolley full and we had half a dozen things, he reminded me there is kindness and consideration too.

Thank you that has made me laugh 😂.

I would have taken even longer. Maybe started again after she spoke. I like to wind rude people up if I can. Bit risky but quite satisfying. If she said anything I would say it was her fault for putting me off.

Quite right too. Play her at her own game.
