Nobody’s point is that the store should be a place of ecclesiastical silence. They’re saying it’s annoying when people block the aisle to have a conversation that benefits no one but them.

It’s cool that you ran into your friend at the store! While you and your friend talk in a place that doesn’t inconvenience everyone else, no one cares, and no memes get made about it.

I love the idea of someone being a landlord somehow exonerating them, lol. That literally makes me more suspicious.

ETA also literally most kidnapping is custodial, that doesn’t make it OK. Still kidnapping.
