I am not here for YOUR convenience.

So you always expect a "thank you.." for your deeds... If I help someone I'm doing it for ma pleasure and don't expect..such words as thank you.. and what did you do that much to get a thank...I'm not arguing.. so how can you judge that she was so rude.. some may ..and some may not or even forget to say... thanks for sharing.... have a great day/night....

There seems to be an epidemic of rude people around these days. Sorry you had to meet one of them. Shame you could not have got the item back out of her cart and put it back on a top shelf.

How rude of her! I hope you wished her some bad thoughts, at least. Anyway, my weird Walmart experience goes like this. Once upon a time, about a decade ago, I was in the Walmart and a woman struck up a conversation with me and we were in the middle of a perfectly nice talk when she startled suddenly and said, 'Oh! I thought you worked here. Never mind." And, then she walked off with her cart. Go figure! I just thought we were having a conversation. It's not like i was looking to make a friend. But, I'm the kind of person who will actually talk to a stranger in a store, assuming they don't look dangerous. I had no idea she thought i was a Walmart employee. Also, what was the big deal? I would think she would want to talk to a Walmart employee less than another customer. But, who knows, what goes through these people's minds. Later, some guy asked me for help in finding something in the craft department. Felt weird to be so popular at the Walmart. Anyway, later I went home and was wondering why everyone was acting as if i was an employee at the Walmart and realized that my cute green vest might be mistaken for a Walmart uniform. Now, keep in mind, Walmart employee uniforms were blue vests at the time. So there should have been no reason for anyone to think i worked there. But, who knows. Maybe Walmart customers are rude as well as color blind.

That was very rude, you didn't say anything like "You'r Welcome!!!" as she moved away??? I may or may not have, depending on my mood..

That's Walmart for you. Last week we went to a town about an hour away to go to the beach and visit a relative, on the way home hubby decides to stop at the Walmart out there. All we needed was a drink and we were broke otherwise so I asked why did we have to go to Walmart.. why not just stop at a gas station for the drinks and move on. He said he wanted to test a theory.. to see if all Walmarts everywhere had the same kind of people. We managed to get out without much drama, but it did seem as if they were the same sort of people, lol.

OMG how rude is that. I think I would have said to her "Your Welcome" real loud just to teach her about manners. If anyone has ever asked me for help in a store they have always been very polite. Even if she thought you worked there she should have been nice to the employee too. I tell you manners and kindness have gone out the window. I'm shocked that a middle age female would act this way.

Well, that was rather rude of her. I'm not quite as tall as you (about 5'8"), but I have gotten the occasional person asking me to get something that was out of their reach. They usually ask, and I'm willing to help if I can, although there was this one time that the person didn't ask, so I didn't bother to help. It was an elderly woman who, instead of asking, hinted around instead. Well, I didn't know that she wanted me to help her get an item that was too heavy for her to get herself and I just smiled at her instead. As I was walking away I looked back and saw someone else help her. It was at that point that I realized what she had wanted. I felt a little foolish for not figuring it out sooner. Although this elderly woman could have come right out and asked me, she was probably too embarrassed to ask for help. As for any rude encounters, the only one I can think of was when someone wanted to get ahead of me in line. It was a middle aged lady, who didn't bother to ask, but spoke matter of fact like. And she spoke fast with an Asian accent too, so it was hard to understand what she said. By the time I realized it she was ahead of me getting her item scanned. She never even waited for an answer. The cashier saw all this and after this woman left we had a good laugh about it. I guess some people need to be reminded to say thank you. Next time something like this happens be sure to say "you're welcome" loud enough so that they are sure to hear it. Who knows, you just might get a "thank you" out of it. LOL Happy mylotting!

It's unfortunate but one can bump into rude people anywhere. I often help someone too in a store, like one time it was this elderly woman that needed something on the bottom shelf and she couldn't bend down to get it, so I got the item for her..but she was the most polite thing going and kept thanking me. I often get rude people who don't thank me for something else though. Say I'm opening the door of a store...FOR ME, the person right behind me walks in first...like hey, I'm not a doorman! When that happens I say "Your welcomed"---of course the person then just gives me a nasty look

That has happened to me and I also have made the mistake of thinking someone was an employee. I don't recall being dismissed in such a manner, I know that I always thank someone for their help. Could be the lady realized her mistake and was embarrassed by it. (or not)

hi ambiepam that was a bit rude on her part. I had an experience that made me smile. this really elegantly dressed silver haired man asked me what aisle the rolledoats were. I blinked and asked, what are rolledoats. all in one word. He laughed then said rolled oats, or what you yanks call oatmeal. So informed I took him by the elbow and walked him to the cereal aisle where'he found quaker oats by the threes. I guessed he really liked his rolled oats.

no weird encounters at stores, but i do believe id have said rather loudly "well your welcome. at least i know how to thank someone"...even if it was at her back. here at home lately my sons gf is visiting again and quite a few rude encounters have went on . she started it so i continue it

Hi Amber! I know you are probably going to be upset so I am sorry in advance, but this is the second time this week that I have pictured a mylot friend totally wrong! No offense, the last time I was really wrong in every way, but at least I had myklj for company! (Long story) But, my sweet lil' sis, I didn't quite picture you as being tall! I thought you were little like me! I'm not even 5'4" anymore (at least that's what the last stupid nurse who measured me said, I lost a 1/2") Will check again next week when I go to my doc to see! Anway, I know what you look like from your beautiful picture, but you didn't look that tall! Back to the that obnoxious, rude woman in Walmart! I think that store brings out the "weird" in some people! I personally have fun when I go! I get all kinds of surprises when I get to the registers because things are sometimes even cheaper than they're marked! I find the employees, if you can find any are rude! The don't want to be bothered helping you and if you ask them where something is they point you in the total wrong direction!

Quite rude wasn’t she? My husband, daughter and I went late night shopping last night because I was looking for a new pair of boots. My daughter has a heavy cough at the moment which our doctor is looking into, it’s something she gets every now and again for a week or so and it is not contagious but annoying. We entered a shoe store we had never visited before and as we began to browse my daughter had a coughing fit and the sales assistant turned around and said, “Does she have a cold? Don’t you spread germs around here I’ve already had a bad cold, put your hand in front of your mouth!” My husband and I stood there a bit stunned and told our daughter to cover her mouth which is something we tell her to do all the time but being the kid that she is she sometimes forgets. I felt this woman was very rude to us being her customers and if it wasn’t that I spotted the nicest pair of leather knee high boots for a bargain price I would have walked out immediately. I don’t know whether some people have an abrupt nature and don’t realise how they come across or whether they are just plain rude although in your case there is no excuse for a simple please and thank you!

Another small person here, and I regularly have to ask someone to pass down an item from a high shelf or reach into the bottom of the freezer. But I am always polite and friendly, and try to do small good turns in return ... even tho' they may be for other people. I must admit that I too, respond with 'you're welcome' if some one doesn't at least smile when I hold the door for them, or some other such small politeness. It often only garners a blank look. When I hand an item to someone, I don't let go until they say thank you. I started this with my kids and found it works very well. With an adult I often find it raises a smile and works better than a rebuke to remind them of their manners!

Hey girl!! What's wrong with pickles dipped in pb? I hear it's pretty tasty. -grinning- Anyhoot..As helpful as I like to be with anyone, I certainly wouldn't accept her outright rudeness and got that item for her. Last and only time someone said (not asked) to get something off the top shelf for them, I turned to him and said "Where's your manners?" I don't help ppl with no manners. He turned with a huff and walked away. Few min. later he comes back, I'm still there cause I was reading labels. He ASKED me "Would you please get xxx item off the top shelf for me?" I turned to him with a genuine smile, got the item down for him and he said "Thank you!" with a smile on his face. A true smile, mind you. Told him "You are so very welcome!" and off he went with that smile still on his face. I made him think which is what my plan was. I HATE rude people. I'm always saying please and thank you. It's how I was brought up and am raising my daughter to do as well. Manners get you a LOT farther in this world than rudeness. I'm even like this with my own hubby if he is acting rude to me. He thinks twice and most times catches himself.lol

People abuse you when you least expect it. You have to be ready at all times. Next time tell the person you have a bad back and that they will have to go to the front of the store and order a Walmart worker to wait on them. And don't apologize.

I went to walmart to buy an electric razor. I found the one I wanted in a locked glass case. I asked a couple of wal-mart employees (who were stocking shelves) for help getting the case opened. They assured me someone would be along to help. No one came and I asked again, "Somebody Will be right along." they said. No one came! I went over to them again and very quietly said," If no one comes in the next 3 minutes,I am going to kick the glass door out of that cabinet, and when your supervisor comes to investigate I'll tell him you told me to do it!" Well you never saw 2 people move so fast in your life. There was someone there almost immediately! I took the razor to the checkout and went home happy!

I am not exactly a tall person. I am about 5'5. I have had older people ask me to reach something for them before when I am not really any taller than they are. I don't recall where this happened, but it very well could have been a Walmart.

I'd have said "I need you to get some ******* manners first". I did have one like that recently. A local sixth form college must have had an open day and a teen marched up to me and snapped "Where's the shop around here?" I happily directed her to the nearest shop. It's not my fault it's a florists... What is it with folks today that they lack basic social skills?

Obviously a very impolite person indeed. Do what I do, in the future when you hand them the commanded item, as I am sure it is in your nature to be helpful, and as they walk away without any form of acknowledgment, say you are very welcome. That will get them every time. Ha!
