Good on you Sam, one should show a bit of compassion. Here one store forbids dogs unless they are for semi-blind folk. I had to smile one old lady solved the problem She pushed her little dog around in a pram as she did her shopping🌺

I am not disagreeing with you, you are talking about most unpleasant people! What is making me smile; there is a genuine darling person living here with us, her name really is Karen!

You did the right thing in a horrid situation! The poor gentleman. And who appointed the Karen to be Warden of Walmart? No one. Yuck. Good for you to speak up.

I forgot to ask if Jessica was craving a peanut butter and onion sandwich? 😜

I like animals, and I would have done the same thing. And you are right: we have no idea what other people are going through. If they don't like what they are seeing, then walk away. No need to spew out hateful remarks.

Good Afternoon

Sam444, I know me and I'm just like you.  By the time I was done, who knows what I would have done.  There's no reason for people to act like this.  One day I was at the grocery store, and there was this guy who was totally crazy.  I was in the fruit section, and he was telling me he hated me and started following me around.  It was terrible.  I think he just wanted to tell someone he hated them.  I reported him and left the store.  These people walk among us.

This was your first encounter with a bossy bitchy overcontrolling interfering busybody? Lucky you. And you handled it just right!
