How about this for rude...
Things are tight financially for my family right now. So, when I can finally get enough money together to go shopping, I end up getting a FULL cart of stuff.
I only go shopping about once or twice a month, and I have a family of four. Whatever I get has to last.
Why do people look at me funny? Why do people give me dirty looks? Why do people make fun of me?
Is there some silent rule or law that a person cannot buy a full cart of groceries?
One time I actually had somebody (another customer) at Wal-Mart tell me that it was time for me to go home.
Shopping with two kids in a crowded store and worrying about whether I will have enough money to pay for it all is bad enough, but having people make me feel bad for getting enough to last me a couple of weeks or a whole month is just plain wrong.
