Other people were passing by as if it wasn't even there.
Why should I report it? If the employees knew what they were doing, it would have been picked up immediately.

Why repeat what Muzzle already replied? Maybe it is not about being courteous, maybe it is stupidity?
Who parks there cart in the middle of an aisle blocking it, it is like parking your car in the middle of the street instead of by the curb.
As for society degrading, yes I believe that. Did you ever here hte term road rage 10 or 15 yrs ago? No.
I have worked in sales, the best reps anymore are courteous, listen and of course knowledgeable. Who would think you would have to teach people to to do the first two, and now there are training classes for that? The parents should be taking care of that.edit on 11/19/2011 by mugger because: sp.

Well, are you trying to state that I should just be as rude and inconsiderate as everyone else? I don't think that will solve anything.
Would society be better off if everyone became rude or would we be better off if people used their manners more often?

If you treat me like an arse, you get treated like one back. If you treat me with mutual respect, you receive that back also.

Two points:
1) You will not always be treated as a second-hand human, because I will treat you with the dignity and respect you deserve as a human being. I will even aid you if I see you struggling, like reaching something for you on the top shelf. I am sorry that we have not met.
2) You cannot possibly block the isle in almost all cases even if you turn your wheelchair sideways, because the isle is big enough for 2 or 3 carts side by side. If in the rare event there are displays in the isle and you do block it, I will wait patiently and kindly for you to finish and move along at your own pace.
Typically when people block isles, it is one family unit and they walk horizontally rather than single file. This is rude in my opinion because of obvious reasons. That is why my family walks single file, and if my kids go to the side of our cart while others are trying to pass I scold them. If there are multiple families conglomerating blocking an isle, this is just random coincidence and no one is actually at fault because crowded places are crowded.
Crippled folks require additional accommodations, this is clear to anyone who thinks rationally.

this world is full of psy vamps who leech off of others. People with no lives of their own are constantly doing this. Most are not aware and think they are in positions of righteousness. I never had much for anyone to vamp off of, but anything I have ever had... people want it.... even my issues, which is really strange. My work, my advice, my friendship, my concern... that's all sucked up like a vacuum the moment it comes out, but even the negative gets sucked up and cherished in by those who have nothing else to fill their own lives with.
Those with good intentions you want to share like energy and you know this passes off, but some are taking you down to a new low... insidiously, gradually and you know this. Some even try to do it quicker and in more desperate spurts. People like that are the type of people who cannot mind their own damn business in life and in walmart. It could be anything but you can tell they want something. It is literally draining to go into public so when people start interjecting crap I have to bounce how it feels right back to them... so i am the same way. I will meet others with the same acceptance or opposition for whatever reason they think they have come up with in their minds... and other than that, I mind my own business in public. I let other shop because I ASSUME that is what everybody came there for. If they come there for some other reason, they might want to make that known... else I will assume they just like getting up in other people's business because they have no life of their own to tend to.

I dont go shopping, I have all my groceries delivered and only shop for clothes when I have to.
Anything electronic is bought online too.
Old people or mums walking at a snails pace, people walking 3 wide blocking the isle, people with pushchairs running into you. It does my head in.
