What a colostomy bag. You should have locked it to the counter or railing requiring a quarter to unlock it. At that point you get the management, while she tries to continue pushing the cart that won’t go.
She’s got some balls. Just like someone that skips you in line and doesn’t even bother to look at you as you protest their action. I HATE people like that. Crusty, yeast-infested douche nozzles!
For line skippers I usually let the clerk know they need to do mine first, and don’t even deal with the skipper until that point.
Woops, strike that, then.
Must consider reading for comprehension.
Where that bitch is going does, though. Offers rides in them, even.
You sure it wasn’t Dick Cheney in drag?
Way to show that your self-worth is less than 25 cents. (Her, not you)
You probably could have dropped a dime on the floor to distract her, grabbed the cart and run. Then it would have only cost you 10 cents. 
OR
You catch up and start putting “your” food into the cart too, saying “since it’s my cart, I can only assume this means you’re buying”. Then wander off. If she destroys the food or causes a scene, it’s a problem for the store, not you.
I would never be able to let something like that go. I would have physically taken the cart back.
Maybe they were grifters working a scam together.
I would have stood in front of her and said (in a loud enough voice) “Lady, if you tell me you are the kind of person who sees nothing wrong with stealing from others, I will be glad to let you keep the cart, but don’t just pretend I don’t exist” and stayed blocking her way until I got a response.
Or dumped a metric ton of heavy items in her cart. If she calls security on you (pray she does) then just say you are just putting your purchases in your cart.
Anyways, the thing is that she knows that old lady beats young male every time and she just counted on you not being able to force the issue (and then history proved her right)
You should have set her car on fire. That would have taught her a lesson.

Did she look like The Penguin in a wig?
Good thing you didn’t fight her for it. Dick Cheney would have shot you in the face and called it a “hunting accident”.
I would definately have added three or four 50 pound bags of dog food to the cart on top of whatever she already had.
The way I figure it, the quarter in question entitles you to hop in the cart and ride around the store with her pushing it. You missed out on some fun times to be had!
I’m a very mild-mannered guy, but I would definitely have considered causing a scene to make her wish she’d never thought about pulling a scumbag move like this. I have long since taken a resolution not to let people in the “16 items or less [sic]” line get by with 30 items, and the provocation in this case is much worse.
What would be appropriate would be walking along next to her, shouting (in a voice loud enough to be heard all over the store) “Somebody call the police! This woman is a thief! She’s stolen my cart! She knows she’s wrong and won’t look me in the eye! Call the manager! See, she still won’t look at me! If she thought I was wrong she’d be challenging me, but no - she’s trying to ignore me! She’s a worthless person! A thief - and she knows it!”
Repeat as necessary. Removing certain of her items from the cart and adding yours would also be fully justified.
Loading her up with adult diapers, hemorrhoid cream and armfuls of condoms and KY jelly might be fun too
Proportional and tidy. I like it.
Assuming I’m reading this right, how is the OP a cuntbag? 
Jeez. I had to go back and re-read the OP. I was wondering why the husband didn’t close the door for her. :smack:
But I don’t understand how you can not catch up to someone in a store.
But yeah, fuck that bitch. Count me among those that would have made a scene.
