My wife and I started getting our groceries delivered during Covid and now that we could go shopping again we have just decided not to. I want to say it doesn't have anything to do with patience or wanting something on demand, but really it just boils down to the fact that people are morons these days. They are completely self absorbed and have zero situational awareness. Quite honestly, my time is more important than dodging people down an aisle who are either focused solely on their phone or in their own little world having a conversation with someone over the phone. On the occasion that their ambivalence causes them to run into you, you get a dirty look like it was your fault. I'll pass thanks.
I wonder how much of the self-absorption is due to the entitlement in the culture now? Was it this way 20 years ago?
No, I don't feel like it used to be like this.
It frustrates me when people have no spatial awareness in the supermarket.
Amen!
