I've almost never felt this, same with other comments here saying people can't handle self checkout. Here in Sweden, at least in my city, people behave like you'd expect normal functional adults to behave. The only people who can be an annoyance are groups of kids/teenagers, and it's very much not all of them either.

    I live in the US. I go to the grocery store a few times a week, I'm a small trips kinda guy, and it's close to my home. Nine out of ten trips are fantastic, but every so often you just come across a person who parks their cart sideways in an aisle, or parks next to one of the stupid fucking displays they put in the already-too-thin aisles. This is excluding, of course, folks who take stuff out of their cart and leave it anywhere, because either they don't realize (or are to embarrassed, for some reason) that you can just leave it with a person up at the register. And at the self-checkouts I do, from time to time, see someone with clearly more than 20 items, though the store folks are good about not letting that happen.

    I never go to Walmart, so I'm going to assume things are much worse there.

    Yeah, I can remember one or two specific instances of people choosing the worst place to stop and have a conversation, but the reason I remember them is because they happen so infrequently. I might need to say "excuse me" every so often, or squeeze by someone who didn't leave a lot of space, but it's never inconvenient enough to warrant remembering.
