Rant: Slow walkers at the airport who stop right in the middle of the escalator

Flew into Atlanta last Friday and three people in front of me halted at the top step to check their phones, blocking everyone behind them. I used to just sigh and wait, but now I politely say 'excuse me' after about 10 seconds. Has anyone else started speaking up at concourse bottlenecks, or do you still just eat the delay?

Hartsfield-Jackson is its own special hell for this, but I've noticed it's way worse when you're near the tram doors. People stop right there to figure out which concourse they need, and it creates this weird human dam that backs up into the moving walkway. I've started just walking around them if there's any gap at all, even if it means brushing past a suitcase. It's not about being rude, it's that nobody ever thinks about the people behind them, so I just treat them like a pylon and route around.
