Respect your elders.

Standing in a queue in Sainsburys, lulled on my feet into a semi-coma as it seemed like an age since I took even one step forward, when a young woman walked up to the next checkout and barged in front of an elderly man. Not a word from the checkout girl who saw it and despite disaproving call outs from her audience, she went through and paid for her shopping. I would have tipped my basket on her head and gone to Tesco's.

There are pricks about.
I would had severely admonished her and the checkout girl.
This is why these people get away with doing what they do. Not enough people have the guts to stand up to them.

@Gusman It's true, the girl should have refused to serve her, but I guess she was afraid of losing her job. But in this case, her manager could have said the customer isn't always right!
