let me clear my throat : a reflection on shopping
self checkout : is an insult to Americans. Its like hey! you thought waiting in line sucked before.. now watch this old woman try to scan in grapes for 1/2 an hour and then watch the register computer freeze up so that an employee who clearly isn't trained in how to use the computer comes over and tries to unfreeze it.

I've been stuck in the express lane with a bag of chips and/or a drink for over half an hour... more than once! But anyone with a loaded shopping cart sees the lines filled with other people with their loaded shopping carts and decides to use the express lane! THAT LINE IS SHORT AND MOVES FAST FOR A REASON!!!! AAGGHH! So I'm stuck there behind people buying a weeks worth of groceries in the express lane, and all I want to do is pay for my jar of salsa/brick of cheese/box of cereal/gallon of milk/whatever it is and leave the store. But. I. Can't. And then, to make it even better... they try to pay with a check, or a really beat up old credit card. So not only to they take forever to scan their items, they take forever to pay. If I ever end up in jail for the rest of my life, you'll know that I snapped and beat someone to death in the express checkout line with a jar of salsa.
