Bait,<br /><br />I feel your pain...<br /><br />Happens to me too. I usually combat the situation by knocking a bunch of their product on the floor trying to get around it!<br /><br />I've seen a couple of ways to unlock those ladders. I have the same type at work.<br /><br />The most common is a lever on it's side. You simply pull it up until it locks into free-wheel.<br /><br />Some have a foot activated lock.<br /><br />H.

Crab Bait....Yes I know what you go through with that.What gets me is trying to get around the "SHOPPERS".I go in knowing what I need and where it is and the "SHOPPERS" take up the whole aisle or move at a snail's pace.It is maddening!!!!THANKFULLY AND RESPECTFULLY>>BART SR.

Yea,<br /><br />And how about the people that are right in front of the item you want!<br /><br />You are there for a quick in-and-out, but they are mysteriously right in front of the item you need, taking inventory of everything there.<br /><br />They see you, but are in no hurry to move.<br /><br /> :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: <br /><br />H.

Yeah and they usually have a sign on them "Store Personnel Only". Just try to find a "store personnel" when you need one.

Crab bait---I can feel your pain, I was in HD yesterday and needed to move one of those things, just as I got it to move I heard a voice behind me "You can not play with my toys! Next time please get a store person to move it for you". I responded by telling the "store person" "Not to leave their toys out where I could play with them".<br />She followed me till I had gone through the checkout stand.

I did something like that between Eagle and Costco. Saved around $50 bones if memory serves...<br /><br />When Eagle first opened here, they offered a match-it and beat-it by %10.<br /><br />H.
