I try not to blockade the person behind me for more than a few seconds,
but I'm trying to figure out how I'm supposed to hang onto 4 bags of
groceries, a half gallon of milk and get my wallet back in my fanny
pack? I suppose I could move out into the "exit lane", but then aren't
I fair game for those folks ("I couldn't believe it! I was just trying
to get my cart out of the store and this woman set her stuff down so she
could put her wallet away. How rude!!!")
