Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : On Sunday afternoon I was shopping at the grocery store around the corner from my house. I don't want to say the name because I'm worried about this getting on social media and I'm almost positive I saw people filming with their phones (also posting from a one time use account for that reason), but it's a national chain that's focus is affordable health food. Think whole foods with bigger variety and way cheaper prices. Because of this, I know a lot of vegans and vegetarians shop there but this place has a full butcher shop, fish place and deli counter. It has vegan products but is not vegan to put it succinctly. 

I was in the soup aisle and I was checking out the bone broth when I hear something from behind me. Thinking back I THINK she said something like "you shouldn't eat that, it's murder." But I honestly didn't hear her so I turned around and said "thank you." This is all such a blur please don't quote me on any of this, it's just the best of my recollection. 


Her: "your body will THANK YOU, as will all the animals."


Me: really confused "thank you."


I set the box of broth I was looking at down and found a store brand that was much cheaper and put in my basket. 


Her: "wait, I thought you weren't buying that?"


Me: "excuse me?"


Her: "you agreed that meat was murder."


Me: "no I'm sorry, I eat meat." 


This is where I start to think something was really, really wrong with her. 


Her: "you PROMISED me, you PROMISED me! No more animals will have to die. YOU PROMISED me." 


I just slowly turned away from her and went into the next aisle. She turned the other way so I figured I was done with her. Instead she looped around and met me coming the other way in the aisle I was in and kept screaming "you PROMISED. you PROMISED!"  and at this point she was in full tears, her face was red and now people sort of had us boxed in on both ends watching the "show." 


I was livid at this point so I said (and this I can quote) "look you stupid b!tch, I didn't promise anything. leave me the fuck alone." And with using that word I think I turned the crowd from being somewhat sympathetic in me dealing with the crazy person to me being an extreme asshole who was calling her names. She collapsed in a heap and I tried to excuse myself through the 4/5 people at the end of the aisle. I was shaking because I don't enjoy confrontation and I just set my basket down and went to the Safeway down the street but was a bundle of nerves the rest of the night. And I'm still dealing with it. I have no idea what came of the woman. 


The look on those people's faces is haunting me (and i'm PRAYING this doesn't end up on youtube) and I feel awful for what I did. 

Am I the asshole?
