I had just finished my grocery shopping in Safeway, paid the bill and headed for the exit.

Now we have two narrow isles. One narrow isle had three people and a shopping cart blocking it so I steered into the other isle and as I passed, a lady who was standing in the isle reading the Starbucks menu stepped back into the wheel of my cart. She gasped and exclaimed, "OW!" I stopped and profusly apologized and while she was hopping about on one foot she put her hand up, palm towards me. I'm not too sure if she was trying to say, "That's OK. It's not your fault." or "Stay back! You've done enough damage." I apologized again and left the store. I hope she made a lot of fuss. I hope Starbucks gave her a free coffee. I hope Safeway gives her a gift certificate. I'd like to have a chat with the money grubbing Safeway executive who OKed this idiotic set up. I don't even like Starbucks coffee.
