Cart Rage?

Mrs O told me last night to pray for her because she had to stop at Costco to pick some things up for Thanksgiving -- and she had heard that the place was packed to the rafters with harried shoppers. She survived. But the crammed atmosphere took a toll on another shopper, Kris Helstrom, who flirted with "cart rage." Kris Facebooks: "Costco gives me anxiety and road rage all at the same time. I swear the next person to push their cart out in front of me and stop, I'm just gonna run over…" Anyone who knows Kris knows she's joking. Right? Right, Kris?

Question: Does it both you to be jammed in a store full of shoppers, especially around the holidays?
