    Font - Posted by u/yoshisteve AITA for buying the last of an item that someone else hid in the store? Not the A-hole I was shopping the frozen foods section of Costco. I stumbled upon a bag of frozen soup dumplings (Mila) that were not in the section they were supposed to be in. They were peeking out from behind boxes of Corn dogs. I had been looking for these soup dumplings because FB ads has been bombarding me with them for weeks. So when I saw the one bag behind the corn dogs, I grabbed them

    Font - A couple seconds later, some woman stops me and says, "Excuse me, I was saving that bag to grab after I finished the rest of my shopping because I didn't want them to melt." I told her I didn't understand what she meant. She reiterated, "That was the last bag of dumplings, so I hid them so I could do some other shopping and come get them later. So can you please give them to me?"

I replied, "Yeah, I might be. But I'll be a jerk eating some delicious soup dumplings when I get home!" Am I the AsOle?

    Font - OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the acle: I feel I could be an asole in this situation because the women had a viable excuse for hiding the bag of dumplings. I considered letting her have them, but ultimately held not to he bag because I really anted to try them, and it seemed like these were the last bag in the store. I also feel like I maybe shouldn't have given her the "eating soup dumplings" remark, but she made the "jerk" comment first.

If she wanted it, she should have put it in her cart. 3.6k 893 Reply Share ●●● flyinb11 15 hr. ago Too many of these people never go back for them too. That's why you find shit all over the store.

    Font - CaliforniaJade That's up there with the people that get some old woman to stand in front of a parking place to "save it". This isn't grade school. Not to mention, she obviously didn't hide it very well. If she wanted that item, she should have kept it in her cart and just kept it insulated with all those cardboard boxes that abound at Costco.

    Font - Cautious-Spited Obviously NTA. You can't hide products to buy them later and get mad if someone takes it. If you hadn't bought them, an employee likely would have put them back in their correct spot later for someone else to buy. Reply Share 791

    Font - Virtual-Tale-2047 - 19 hr. ago Lmao she should have just got them in her cart. What difference does it make if they are outside the freezer for 15-30 more minutes 561 Reply Share

    Font - Otherwise-Topic-1791 · 19 hr. ago · edited 13 hr. ago I picked up a clearance toy one time. Some lady behind me at checkout demanded that I give it to her. Now mind you, I'd Already payed for it! I told her she could give me the money for it, but she wasn't having that. She demanded that I give it back to the cashier and she'd pay the store. Well the store didn't own it! I did! When I was leaving I saw her talking to someone in a business suit. Probably the store manager. That f-ing b@tch
