HOLIDAY ENLIGHTENMENT: In the freezer area
Recently, to gather a few needed items I ventured into Costco; I had company. I parked where the old Black Sheep building used to reside and took the shuttle to the front door. Taking a deep breath, I looked both ways and signaled to enter into the main thoroughfare. Movement was restricted and I soon realized there were many unlicensed grocery cart drivers vying with me for the same limited space in the narrow-aisled maze. Some drivers appeared to have blinders on and moved way to quickly in the limited area. On the other hand, not knowing they were as much a hazard as the nimble folks, there were as many slow-moving operators, meandering oblivious to the hectic rush-hour traffic.
It soon became evident that I was the target of unwarranted road rage, so I pulled over into a safe location. Disoriented, but feeling somewhat safe and hoping to reengage soon, I took another deep breath. Just then, an unconscious driver bumped into the back of my cart. I turned quickly to survey the disruption and found a small line of carts, attempting to pass through my parking spot. Thinking I must get out of the way, but wondering how to not be in the way, I moved quickly into one of the large freezer areas, where carts seem to avoid.
