HOW RUDE!!!

Let me just tell you how rude people can be.

I was at the grocery store today and had my usual fountain drink in hand while I was pushing Collin in the "green monster" shopping cart. (If you have ever used the green shopping carts at Publix, you know they are impossible to maneuver, at least for me they are, but I get them to emtertain Collin!) I was at the produce section and my drink spilled onto the floor. Being that I was in an upper-end grocery store, I thought, "don't worry, I am sure someone will tell the employees or they will come help." Let's face it, there are different groups of people that GENERALLY shop in certain stores. I shop everywhere from Goodwill to Belk, so I am in no way trying to bad mouth any stores or anyone, but you know what I am trying to say. Well, you should know 10 customers (YES 10!!!!!!) walked right past me, one literally stepped over the spill and me!!!!!!!!! When the drink spilled, there were 5 PEOPLE STANDING AROUND just looking at me frantically trying to find something the clean the spill. NEVER ONCE DID ANYONE OFFER TO HELP!!!! After running back and forth to get paper napkins from the fountain drink station, someone FINALLY told an employee that there was a spill.

I am so disappointed with all those people that just looked and walked on by and even stepped over me! Have we come so far in society that we can't stop for 30 seconds and help someone out. I had by child with me!!! You would think that the grandmothers & mothers that walked past would have had pity and would have grabbed some napkins or told an employee. I have, on several occasions, stopped in my very busy shopping trip, running late for the next errand, stopped and at least told the person, "I will get an employee to come and help" or have actually helped them myself. Am I in the minority?? Are people really that rude and out of touch with others. Doesn't anyone have empathy anymore????????????
