    I guess I don’t know exactly what store you are talking about.
    But I guess it was some big-box store. My advice is stay away from there!
    I cannot imagine why you even stayed around, nothing is worth that kind of stress.
    The store manager was definately at fault, and you should take it directly to him.
    People act like idiots because it is allowed.

    The worst is when you go into a smaller store (a convenience store, say), and you hold the door for someone, and that someone gets in line ahead of you, and then proceeds to hold up the line. When someone holds the door for me, I walk in and let them get on line first.

    @Emily: The manager was wrong, but really had no choice. If he didn’t do it, it probably would have led to some sort of accusation and/or frivolous lawsuit attempt. I’m not saying it didn’t play out as it should have, but he was trying to calm an obviously irate person down. Unfortunately the only people that can actually do something about it are consumers not the employees. I have no problem confronting someone in a store for acting irrational or completwely rude. If an employee attempts that, they risk losing their job or getting written up. “The customer is always right” is filling some people with this insane sense of self entitlement that they really shouldn’t get.

    What’s the rule in a place like CVS, that has two or three cashiers behind a counter? In other places I’ve been, people make one line and go to the first cashier that’s open. This makes sense to me, but I don’t see people do it often in the Capital District. Sometimes I attempt to start a single line – sometimes people catch on, but other times people just start forming their own separate lines.

    You should also include those who like to form a line to the side of the line, in hopes either some kind soul will let them in, or they can jump in front of people. I have only encountered these types of people in Albany, but I’m sure it happens elsewhere.
