Just as I was starting to think chivalry was dead, I was pleasantly surprised to discover it does still make an appearance from time to time.  I popped to Sainsbury’s the other evening to pick up a much deserved bottle of wine for the hubby and me and a couple of chocolate treats.  The queues at the till weren’t particularly long and the at the till I chose there was just one man in front of me.  He was loading all his groceries onto the conveyor belt, looked up from his trolley and said to me “Is that all you’ve got?  You can go first”.  I had no problem with waiting and wasn’t expecting this gesture – I’m so used to people being in a rush when I’m at the Supermarket.  Ok, by the time I was served he was still getting things out from his trolley, but that’s not the point.  It’s simply a nice reminder that people do still have manners, not everyone is oblivious and wrapped up in their own thoughts.  His gesture would still have slowed him down slightly as the cashier could have started to scan his groceries through rather than completing my transaction.  So, the next time I’m doing a big shop and I see someone with a couple of items behind me, I’ll let them through first.  What about you?
