Stop what? It's truth. I speak up, others should too & no one needs to be rude doing it....No is ok

Well I am in downstate Illinois. Do not know if I am considered north, south or middle.

Had to go out and do a bit of shopping at Walmart and then a stop at Aldi. It was very crowded and somewhat of a zoo at both stores. Not one single rude person to be found. In fact, there were at least three carts with quarters already inserted at Aldi. I love when this happens as we all just pass the carts on to others just entering the store. A guy came up to me as I emptied my cart at my car with his quarter, I said nope, it is yours, keep your quarter as it was already there when I got it. He just smiled and said thanks!

I am in a small town with a lot of very nice people. Guess the rude ones were all staying home today and for that I am thankful!🤣🤣🤣

deepwaterdotter, you're not so bad down there. We love it when the Cubs come up to play the Brewers. The Northern Illinois people are big spenders. My son in law likes bartending at the stadium during the game. He says he always gets good tips from Illinois people.

Maybe that's why my husband, another ill-mannered northerner (Minnesota), and I moved to Wisconsin. We couldn't afford to be Cub fans in Illinois.

kitcat51, I'm talking about you being grumpy right hear & now. I'm talking about you telling other people what they should do, as though you have all the answers. Do you have a smile on you face when you post? Maybe a scowl is more like it. Grumpy, grumpy, bossy boss.

I don't think saying its okay means I have no backbone, it's not worth it to me to have a disagreement. Also nowadays who knows what can happen, starting something with the wrong person, you don't know where it will lead.

I stopped letting people with one item cut in front of me. My experience has been people wanting to cash their lottery tickets or buy them. They also want to purchase cigarettes, liquor, etc. The one product ends up taking longer to process than a regular cart of groceries.

What I find rude when people think it is okay to hold up others waiting in line to pump gas. Some think it okay to pump their gas and know that the lines are long with cars waiting behind them but they will go inside of the store to get a soda or whatever they want instead of pumping their gas and move up to the front of the store and out of the gas pump line.

The other thing that really bothers me, but I get over it, when people will not return the shopping carts and just leave it in the parking space or up against your car. I wish that someday it will be a violation with a strict fine if caught, A way the store or town could get some revenue or perhaps teach those to return the carts to the proper place.

First of all, I've lived in both places, and I have to stand up for my northern people. Northerners are nicer!

Secondly, if you want to see bad manners, watch the customers at Costco. They have no regard for how long it takes employees to pick up after them. They destroy the clothing tables (don't even try to re-fold anything and dig through piles rather than looking at the size stickers). Seriously, sometimes it's like a garage sale in there, and it's not the employees' fault. Also, customers change their minds about items and then discard them anywhere. It's pretty gross to find a giant pork butt stuffed in with the protein shakes, but hey, I guess the 2 minutes it saves them make it ok for them not to do the right thing.

We no longer value the golden rule. We no longer stand up for the ethics behind it.

We teach "kindness" but we don't put morality behind it so it becomes about the giver not the receiver.

LOL, I'm not a grumpy or bossy. My comment wasn't directed at anyone, it's simply from my personal experience. When you say ok, you give permission & what happens from there is on yourself. Many have a hard time saying no because they think it's rude, it's not....when I can accommodate others I'm happy to do it, when I can't it's a polite NO. Hope that helps you understand what I posted.
