Queues were badly aspected
Today's excursion to the shops made me think that if I'd looked at my horoscope it would have had dire warnings concerning queues.
Because, really. REALLY. What was this thing that this thing was?
First I went to Superdrug and I needed to ask to see if they had something at the pharmacy counter, and there was already a queue, and only one person serving, who then disappeared for a significant length of time, what even is this, on a SATURDAY???
And when I finally reached the counter, and asked for what I wanted, and they were out of it, I decided to be a thoughtful person and take my other purchases to the main checkout as another queue of people with prescriptions was building up behind me -
And blow me, all of ONE of the main checkouts was in operation.
While in Waitrose, we fetched up at what turned out to be the line behind cashier in training, and customer who rises to the condition of performance art in the matter of slowly stashing purchases into bags, then delving into recesses for Advantage card, debit card, etc, and then some member of staff coming up with additional or replacement item...
Then at the bus-stop, we had Zeno's or Godot's bus, which was indicated, and kept being the same while away for implausible lengths of time, and was eventually alleged to be a minute away for at least 5 minutes, and really, I was quite surprised when it did actually turn up, rather than that thing when a bus is due and then disappears from the indicator into the void.
Meanwhile it came on to chuck down rain. This entry was originally posted at https://oursin.dreamwidth.org/3046624.html. Please comment there using OpenID. View
