Solidarity, Sister!

Store bans trolley woman

SHOPPER Patricia Evans was barred by a supermarket for having her trolley the WRONG WAY round.

Teacher Patricia, 50, pushed her trolley alongside the checkout facing forwards.

But an assistant told her she had to turn it around because the cut-price LiDL chain insists they must go in backwards.
...
After paying for her £30 goods she was told: "Don't bother coming back - you are banned."

She said yesterday: "It was outrageous. They don't talk to you like that at Marks & Spencer."

As a person who is known to extract the highest performance from his shopping cart, I feel it is my duty to stand in solidarity with this brave sister. As we all know, the sidewalk is for fancy walkin' and regular walkin'. And Skating.

It always makes me happy to know that the world continues to make no sense whatsoever. A person of poor character with any perceived power over another will eventually abuse it. In this case, a store manager with the ability to "ban" customers.

Milhouse? You're banned.

Ralph? Banned.

Heh. Walken.
