THAT is ridiculous.

I have encountered older people, especially men, who are grouchy and entitled--cutting in line, haranguing clerks, etc. But I don't see why a 34 yo woman wouldn't defer to an elderly gent in giving up the shopping cart? I guess her mother didn't teach her any manners.

what a funny story. maybe the store only had one cart? (and you had to pay to get another one??) (in some countries you have to put a coin into slot to free the shopping cart. .. when you're done with it you bring it back to the dispenser and get your coin back..

What a couple of class acts.

I'll take "Germany or Florida (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=germany%20or%20florida)" for $1000, Alex. :rolleyes:

Including the US. Aldi is one chain that does that (and I believe their parent company is German).
