Thanks, edited as was too pointed with the "it" But I also do not agree fully. I have seen altercations in supermarket lines where someone oversteps the "tape separation" line and has been asked nicely "please step back" to get told off, or better yet spit on. Things are not right. This is not how civilized people interact with one another.

> I have seen altercations in supermarket lines where someone oversteps the "tape separation" line and has been asked nicely "please step back" to get told off, or better yet spit on. At that point I'd be calling for the store manager, and if they didn't tell that person to leave, I'd be calling the cops. Particularly if someone was spit on; under current circumstances that amounts to reckless negligence. > This is not how civilized people interact with one another. And letting it happen without imposing consequences is not how civilized people maintain the standards and norms of civilization. The people you describe are uncivilized barbarians and should be treated with the appropriate contempt.

If you really live in an area where you can't depend on other people to abide by and help enforce obvious rules of civilized behavior, then you do not live in a civilized area and should consider moving. If the store manager really tried to kick me out under the circumstances described, instead of the person who spat on me, I would tell him in no uncertain terms that he would never get my business again, nor that of anyone else I could convince. I suspect that a few well-placed Internet posts, not to mention phone calls and emails to every local and national news organization, would convince a lot of people.

      Don't tell me what to do keyboard warrior, and save your hypothetical power fantasies for a more naive forum.
