Supermarket, what a dread!

 I love shopping, even if it's just groceries. I like to take my shopping trolley, walk slowly down the aisles, choose this brand instead of that, fusilli or penne? any new fragrance in the personal hygiene section? I find it relaxing.
Of course, one has to be careful. Especially if the supermarket is very full, especially if you notice signs of nervousness around you. Mom with crying kids? Avoid their aisle. Lady pushing her trolley as if she is running for her life? Give her way. Other lady darting killer looks every time somebody stands in front of HER shelf? Come back later.
The risks are manyfold if you don't follow these simple shopping tactics. You could enter an unwanted discussion, or the Mom with the crying kids could be panicking a little and ask YOUR help to reach for the oil on the top shelf. Or someone could hurt you with the shopping trolley.
Seems unlikely you say? Not in the UK and maybe we should pay attention in other parts of the world too. Especially around Christmas time, some customers were hit by other customers with their trolleys, and not by accident. The hitters did so on purpose and sometimes with very serious consequences. It's called "trolley rage" and according to the dictionary it's associated both with airports and stations but also with small grocery shops. Indeed, it looks like the dimensions of the place we are shopping in does not affect the rage. It's the slowness of the customers, the hesitation in front of the shelves that causes the rage and the hit.
The hit is not always immediate, some people are so furious that they are ready to wait for you at the exit to run over you better. Isn't it called premeditation? So please, watch out. Somebody could be choosing you as their next target...
