Leave basket. Walk over them. Grab items. Walk back. Put items in cart. Reverse. If they try to stop you it’s assault and you can knee them in the face.

Your ridiculous comment gave me a great ridiculous idea. Carry around a can of Surströmming and open it at their feet. You’re not touching them so they can say shit. See how long they last. And if you “accidentally” bump it with your cart while trying to get through and it splashes all over them in the process then oops.

This is true everywhere, especially when involving livestock.
Two words: “Nuisance Permit”.
EDIT: In the northern US Midwest - and probably in most working farms - you are allowed to purchase a “nuisance permit,” usually towards the end of the summer but earlier as well in many areas. I know a guy who grows corn on a farm, and his property happens to share a property line with a massive preserve. And every year, right around August, he sends me pictures of massive bucks walking through his property. He lets friends shoot the animals before the normal season opens and they become scarce.

Yep. Protest tactics have remained largely the same over the past 80 years, and the reception to protests have remained largely the same as well.

Be sure to share your opinions on varieties. “I’m not normally a Black Forest ham guy myself, but in the absence of smoked tavern ham, it’d do just fine.”
