So this Friday Im in the store - queuing at one of the two basket only lanes, when in the next lane two guys come up with a smaller size shopping cart with a MIN of 30 items. I thought about my comments in this thread, so I didnt let it slide. I said, politely, "excuse me mate, this lane is for baskets only"... both guys were Polish so I dont know if they understood completely, so I showed them the basket in my hand and said "baskets only" again.
One guy said basically "its nothing to do with you"

At this point my voice went grey on them and in me, and I said... well, not really. There was a girl aged approx 15 standing one place behind me in the line so I couldnt swear or use strong terms to them when I addressed them in front of her. But I stuck to it and said "look, its for baskets only, its not fair on everyone else if you use this lane". The guy kept loading his stuff onto the conveyer belt. At NO TIME did either of the lady's working the checkouts say one word about this. In the end I figured without a confrontation they were just going to ignore me, so I left it.
Walking out the store I felt kind of angry that they had disrespected me by ignoring my (perfectly reasonable) request - treated me like they could do what they wanted and I couldnt do a thing about it, like Im nothing... but short of placing my hands on their troley and shoving it away from the till I dont know what I could have done. Language may have been a part of it, but one of the guys could speak English so I dont think they didnt understand me at all.

I wish I had followed them out the store, followed them home, and then late at night took a piss through their letter box and then climbed on their roof and took a shit down their chimney, then knocked on the door and straight told them what I did and ask THEM what the fuck they want to do about it... how THEY like to be treated in that way.
Like I said in other places, I know I probably do have a temper that is on the edge of being more than bad....
