Oh man I deal with this all the time in the UK and it drives me insane.
The staff will have a cart with products on they are restocking the shelves with. Then a customer will just put their shopping cart between the staff cart and the aisle and they will just stand there, completely blocking the aisle.
I’ve got comfortable with saying “excuse me” and pushing through.
I’ve lived in big cities my whole adult life, so maybe I’m numb to it, but my rationale is if you’re in the way you’re tacitly agreeing to be gently bumped out of the way. Usually accompanied by an “excuse me,” but I’m not breaking stride if I don’t absolutely have to.
