Just think they are someones relative. How about the one who wait till they are rung up then start writing their check?
Just hope they never breed.
Haven't those dolts seen the commercials where cash or a check STOPS everything in a world where everything is paid with a Visa card??
I always manage to get in line behind these types of brainless fools.
LOL. I actually start my check before I leave home so all I have to do is fill in the amount.
Don't you love it when you get behind someone who is shopping for other people and has three separate orders. Never heard of a calculator I suppose . . . . Then there are the ones who are using three different pay types -- food stamps, cash and WIC. Granted, I'm glad they have access to those resources but I would much prefer that they were behind me rather than in front of me in line.
I also look at what the person behind me has and if it is just a couple of items I tell them to go ahead of me.
Karma doesn't always work on cue though -- when I have a problem checking out the people behind me STILL act like I'm the biggest fool on the planet. Never mind that it is the cashier's problem and not mine . . .
People still write checks??!!! What I like to do is have more than ten items, have the cashier say let me check you, so she starts checking and then someone with two items gets behind you are glares at you. You want to say, she told me to and I only have 13 items but I feel guilty for being in front of her. And then I say to the person behind me, "I am sorry". But people always watch items as they scan, I've caught mistakes that were up to four or five dollars different. The good news is we have all these beautiful grocery stories to go to. My favorite is Central Market and Whole Foods. There they have lots and lots of checkers and people usually pay with a debit or credit!! Have a good day at the grocery store.
The ones who always made me want to go for their throat were the ones who didn't have enough money and couldn't decide which items they could do without. They lay a few items up on the belt and then go, 'how much is it now?' Then a few more, etc. Finally they have past the amount of money they have and they have to go through every single bag to decide what must go back. When that happened, I would turn off my light, put out the closed sign and tell people who were behind this 'genius' that they would probably get faster service in another line. I worked with a lady who's pet peeve was people asking to use her pen. She called it a 'ball pen'. She would lock her pen in her drawer at the end of each transaction and when a customer would pull out their checkbook and ask to use her pen she would tell them it was locked in her drawer and she couldn't get to it until the transaction was completed. She also told them that she did that because she couldn't afford to keep replacing pens because customers 'forgot' to give them back. I used to love working beside her just so I could hear the give and take of it. Oh, I have to tell this one: I worked in a military commissary, fast paced, very busy, and we were required to ring a certain # of items per minute. This was in the days before scanners, so we had to learn the touch system for the numeric pad. We had this one officer, I think he was a little perverted, on the weekends he would come in wearing jogging attire, sans underwear. Our grocery belts came right at his crotch level. He used to push himself up against the belt. We always thought that he did it just hoping that we would accidently touch his winkie as we reached for something on the belt. Well bless this one gal, she decided that she would fix him and slammed his little hoo-haa against the metal lip on the belt with a can of tomatos. Now she 'I'm sorried' all over the place, but there was a twinkle in her eye and the rest of us were doing a mental victory dance.
I wish I could have seen that AuntieEmma ; I would have told him that would probably hurt in the real world and laughed my a-- off .
Believe it or not. I was in line behind a lady one time who waited until her items were rung up then took out her coupons from the newspaper that were not even cut out yet and proceeded to look and cut the coupons out right then and there.
This just confirms my belief that the IQ impaired are taking over the world. These morons are in every state and they breed like mice.
The worst part is the fact they they are clueless as to how PISSED everyone behind them in line has become. ARGGGGGGGG
