I love when someone tries to get on before I get off the public transport because I Just walk straight over them and ask them wtf they're doing. Works great every time because since you come off from a higher platform it's so easy to steamroll them.
As I said somewhere upthread, there are a lot of personal variables affecting how bad things will be for an individual. A 6'7", in shape and intimidating-looking 25-year-old male will have a better time doing what you've described than a 5'5" woman in her 70s for instance. But if you do this enough times, no matter how nails you are you'd better be wearing a stab-proof vest (as well as be ready to throw hands and then get arrested).

Edit: Literally this news story, which I remembered:

The level of women interrupting you is an epidemic at this point. Even middle-class, White British women in their 60s in the bank or something. Again this degeneration is not limited to the scratters.
Try going about your business, shop, ticket office, library, phone call to company, council office, train conductor - any context that involves you talking to a woman you don't know, who is on duty. It seems to be about 70% she will repeatedly interrupt you. You won't get to the end of a ten-word sentence without being interrupted. Asking/telling her to stop interrupting you of course just makes things worse. Men are also doing this, but a lot less often, and they do tend to stop when you ask/tell them to. Maybe your sex makes a difference there.
What can you do really? Barring a revolution - withdraw from public spaces - which I am observing happening by the more civilised elements of society.
Do everything possible online.
Live in a fucking gated community, that's probably coming in a few years.
Be a worse and more dominant bully than the individuals you are dealing with? In some contexts yes, but where the woman has an institution backing her up and you don't, she'll just invoke that and have you banned from the building, call the cops etc.
Complain to head office - firstly 95% of members of the public won't do that, because they are NPCS. Secondly, even if 5% complain, and I expect these institutions are starting to get a lot of complaints about their rude staff from the 5%, or just people in older generations who have maintained the earlier standards internally, it's not going to make a significant difference. That just isn't how society works.
Maybe, along the lines of gated communities, parallel 'walled' institutions will develop. Like first class on the trains or business class when flying, where they have separate waiting rooms and everything. Maybe upmarket supermarkets and private libraries and stuff will jack up their prices and restrict membership and whatnot to keep things more civilised for their stratum of patrons.
