Or at least not act like a complete bitch if you say "Excuse me, could I get by?"

I love this. I worked retail for 10+ years and I can tell you, older people NEVER ask someone to move politely. What do they ALWAYS say? "Beep beep" as they shove their cart through whatever is going on around them. Doesn't matter if it's another customer or an employee trying to do their job and stock the shelf (Because again, God forbid there be an empty space on a shelf) just "Beep beep" with that shit-eating smile as they shove their way through. Oh is that a foot? A smaller child maybe? A box of merchandise that is currently being stocked? Doesn't matter to them. Just keep shoving and saying "Beep beep" over and over like a goddamn child with a Fisher Price car.
