Why do people in supermarkets have such a lack of awareness?

They are too busy staring at isles so they always walk into people or get in their way.

Why can't they pay attention to both?

    People are too self-centered these days to have manners and leave their personal bubble to pay attention to other people around them. I used to enjoy shopping a little, but now I dread going, all it does is make me irritated at the world. Where I live it's really bad. I hate it so much I wait til all my cupboards, fridge and freezer is empty before I go sometimes.

    Well, the walkways of a grocery store have an awkward concourse unless the store is immensely huge. It's difficult to know who will be in your way - while you are walking. Somebody might appear in your path - it can be subtle or even rollicking. Grocery stores can't have a limit for people who wish to shop there - they want to sell the food. Therefore grocery shopping is not the easiest thing to do. People who want to avoid this lack of awareness should find a very large store.

    Can I say more about supermarkets? Not on the same subject.

    Liquor thieves might steal $400 worth of bottles in one instance. When that happens, as you can guess, prices for everything are more expensive. Help your community keep the prices low by spotting a liquor thief.

    It's such an annoyance! People stop anywhere they want and don't care if they block traffic. And if there's only two carts in aisle, you can bet they're right across from each other so nobody can get through. Just plain old selfishness

    I hate people in supermarkets. I go in, get what I need, and go out. Why people seem to think it's a day trip out is beyond me, when they just stand around feeling stuff and that, eugh - get out the way!!!

    It is human nature and you and not one other could control this. I suggest that you just go on your merry way of shopping and just ignore the others. You must realize this there is absolutely no perfect person on this planet including myself!!
