BiLo in Pickens SC on hwy 8 the BiLo manager rude pickens South Carolina

I had just finished grocery shopping and was leaving with my grocery cart  when I came up to a large crowd of people blocking my exit.

I simply said out loud "Clear the way."  

The people stopped & looked at me.

I said "Open the way." and moved my hands side to side while facing each other.

They made a path and I exited.

I said nothing more to anyone and my tone was calm and assertive, nothing more.

When I got to my truck a woman identifying herself as the BiLo manager came to me and accosted me for being so rude in front of the "state representative".  She looked very upset and her tone was, ironically, quite rude.  

I simply replied "I'm sorry.  Please forgive me."  Even though I didn't do a dang thing wrong.

This disarmed her and she left.

I'm no respector of "persons".  I don't care if you're the state rep or joe blow, don't block my way at the grocery store & expect me to just stand there & wait for nothing.  If you want me to wait, pay up.   I don't get paid for this BS, so treat me as a regular customer w/ some respect and let me leave the store in dignity.  All I wanted to do was buy groceries.  I treated all of them w/ respect.  I was not rude.  What this manager did was uncalled for.  She should have cleared the way for the customers that were leaving herself.  That's a fire-hazard.  So I'm reporting this.  If she ever calls the cops on someone for being "rude", contact me.  The woman is too sensitive & that store needs to take care of that.
