      I’ve seen it many times, and also these classics:

      • Elderly couples entering the store with a shopping cart, then stopping immediately behind the entrance - “Oh, won’t you look at all this stuff in here? Now what do we need again?”, completely oblivious to the queue forming behind them.
      • Old people standing in the middle of aisle intersections with their shopping carts like statues, just… pondering.
      • Old people very slowly paying with coins at the checkout, like one cent at a time.

        Where I live the supermarkets are often super crowded and things like that don’t really happen or maybe only for a few seconds before someone gets angry and resolves it.

        However, I have seen the paying with coins at checkout thing. I prefer that over people who try to discuss discounts and prices at the checkout though.

        I live next to the border to the Netherlands and the supermarkets are usually super crowded. If someone behaved like that it would probably escalate quickly.

      Here in Berlin it’s more the lone hipster standing in the middle of the lane gazing at all the “enhanced” healthy, hand-plucked, organic wyrøbylberry-llama-chocolade bars (lactose free), deciding which one to take and not giving a fuck abut blocking the whole lane because he’s really, really taking care of his health. This will go on for about twenty minutes until his girlfriend joins the discussion and has not ended yet. They are still -aggeession-freely- discussing their food choices in the lane at cashier #2 at EDEKA, Rigaer Strasse, corner Voigtstrasse in Friedrichshain. The BV will put the matter on the TOP next month at their general assembly.
