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.

The workers at a store, especially the cashier, are not really allowed to say anything when a customer acts like a sh*t.

It does kind of suck how the Karens of society get away with their BS though.
But on the other hand, you cannot let someone else's bad behavior cause you to get yourself in trouble as well.

@CestManan Couldn't blame her for not saying anything in hindsight, if she had done, the woman may have caused a ruckus.

@Idontdomornings Just sucks cause someone else acts like a jackass but if you retaliate then YOU are the bad guy. What the hell can you even do?

@CestManan Nothing, just keep your tongue between your teeth! 🙂

@Idontdomornings In this particular case though, maybe everyone just let the woman do her thing so she would be gone and out of everyone's hair faster.
