Bullies come in all shapes, ages and styles. I was patiently waiting my turn in the check out line at Larson’s SuperValu. A middle aged man ahead of me shifted his grocery cart back and forth, finally leaving the line. I rolled my cart ahead, assuming he went to pick up something he had forgotten.
A couple minutes later, he came tearing back, shoved me aside, and shouted, “I was here before you.”
I was stunned speechless.
As he checked out, I took a few deep breaths, trying to regain my composure. He muttered something to the clerk then rushed out of the store.
“Did you see what he did to her?” the cashier asked her coworker in the next lane. She turned back to me. “Why didn’t you say something?”
“I thought about it, but I didn’t want to deal with him and didn‘t think you did either.”
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.” (Matthew 5:9)
