Gratefully, I cannot think of a single soul.

@Daisy Sunflower Where do you shop? I'll not venture into your territory.

Yes! I ignore supermarkets in general! Fortunately, my husband doesn't mind grocery shopping! Good thing, if I had to go, I'd probably be in prison. Several months ago, I needed one item at Walmart. I knew exactly which aisle to take to get where that item is located. Unfortunately, a family ahead of me took up the entire aisle, from one side to the other. They knew I was behind them, but refused to move aside. Errrr! I took another aisle, found what I needed and got out of there ASAP!

You would have wanted to scream at the woman I was talking about. She always blocks aisles and just doesn't seem to care.

After all, she didnt wheel after you to start a conversation.
It sounds to me as though she not only noticed the OP, but also approached her. I doubt the OP would have cared very much if she had been able to avoid this person.

She is also a know- it- all who will park her scooter in the middle of an aisle, completely oblivious to the people around her. I had to laugh, because my number was up until our next unfortunate meeting. Do you have anyone that you go out of your way to avoid ?
I know how you feel.
There's one woman who I only run into during the summer (when we're at our summer homes). She talks nonstop about herself, never pausing for a breath, and is not the slightest bit interested in hearing anything about anyone else. It's always a monologue about her life, her family, her travels. She's not negative (like the person you described), but I hardly know her and I'd much rather have a conversation than be forced into listening to her go on and on and on. At least ask me how I am! At least pretend to be semi-interested in me!
I don't usually have a hard time avoiding people if it's not a good time for me, if I'm not in the mood, or whatever, but she's a tough cookie! With everyone else, I simply hold my phone up to my ear as though I'm having a conversation, or I nicely say hello followed by, "I'm on my way to_________" as I rush off. I've learned all the tricks, but - as you know - the tough ones can be hard to avoid. :-)
