The maker of this meme-thing is personally calling me out, and I know it, because I’ve complained about this exact issue like at least a dozen times on this account/username alone.
The chain grocery stores and major retailers in my part of the world have all done post-COVID renovations in the past 3 to 4 years. Somehow defying the laws of physics, but they’ve reduced the spacing between aisles, increased the number of aisles, and yet they’ve also reduced product selection at the same time.
Pretty much all them now only have barely enough width for 2 well carts directed by well-behaved customers. However, roughly 1/3 of all aisle have some kind of obstruction, like support columns or hanging displays, mini-displays on the floor, so that it creates a bottleneck where only 1 cart can pass.
Honestly, some times I just want to compare products, read the ingredients, maybe do the math to compare prices but I can’t without inconveniencing folks.

Costco has wide aisles. People still block them with their shit because people suck.

People do get in the way. But they have sample stations and trash cans all over their he place too. And sometimes a huge order of live plants down the middle if the frozen food section
