Think before you eye-roll my way, please

I got stuck in an impromptu queue leaving Whole Foods today. A woman searching in her purse had parked her cart diagonally in front of the small sliding doors. She remained oblivious as the stymied line of shoppers behind her grew. An older woman next to me was in a hurry, apparently. She fluttered her nylon grocery bags and clicked her tongue but never said a word to the woman rummaging through her purse. After a few beats, the line blocker realized she was in the way and moved her cart without a second glance to those she had impeded. Before leaving, the older woman looked at me and said, "Finally! You know, some people!" as she rolled her eyes.
