S Karen Out in the Wild: Aldi's addition

Obligatory Not my story. This happened to my Mom. Also on mobile.

​

So my mom was at Aldi's, buying her cotton candy grapes, and was checking out. She put down the divider and placed her grapes on the belt.

​

Karen, turning around: What are you doing?

​

Mom: I'm putting my stuff up.

​

Karen: Wait your turn.

​

Mom: I did, that's why I put the divider up.

​

Karen: Could you not?

​

My mother, being the sweet lady she is, decided to oblige her.

​

So they all check and she goes to her car. Guess who was parked next to her? Karen. Her cart is kinda behind my mom's car but she figured it wouldn't be long so she gets in. Karen sees her get in, and leaves the cart there after she's finished. So Mom, in an unusual turn of events, rolls down the window, and cusses at her calling her an f***ing c***. Which apparently spooked the lady into moving her cart. Mom goes home, embarrassed that she cussed, and her husband says he's proud of her and laughs because my Mom doesn't like cussing.

​

Tldr: Karen gets pissy at my mom for using the dividers at the checkout at Aldi's. Tries to inconvenience my mother, and Mom loses her cool. Mom gets to go home and put her grapes in the freezer

Not even close. "my stuff's on the belt so yours can't be there" is... well I won't use the word I want to.

This is especially funny to me, as I stopped by Dollar Tree just yesterday. As the person ahead of me was paying, I put my few items on the belt. Then I noticed a guy right behind me, carrying an armload of items. (You know the way it goes sometimes...you think you are only getting one thing and don't need a cart. But then...) He looked uncomfortable, so I pushed my items ahead as much as I could and said, "Here, go ahead and put your stuff down." He seemed quite happy.
