This always works. It appears that manners are not being taught anymore.
Oh and I am old enough and grumpy enough that if some punk kid asked me in a rude manner to move a few steps, I would move in front of whatever he was trying to get until he learned some manners. If he wasn't rude but just not polite, I would ask him for the magic word.
