Know what I hate?
Do you know what I hate? I hate it when you're at the grocery store or Wal-Mart or someplace like that & it's really busy, a high-traffic time, & they have only one ot two lanes open. Cuz then those lines stretch all the way to the back of the store & you stand there for 3 hours before management thinks it might be a good idea to open another lane or two. By that time you've made it to the front of the line & your milk has gone bad. Or maybe you're at the store & you manage to get in a line where there's only one guy ahead of you. You're feeling pretty proud of yourself & your good fortune...then the cashier pulls the cord that sets her light blinking for assistance. Ugh! Cuz you know it's going to be at least 10 minutes before someone who has a vague idea of what they are doing to get there & then another hour to solve the pricing issue, customer payment problem, or to find Gozar the Key Master to open the cash register. Or what about the times when you only need one or two things, you just wanna run in & out & be on your way? But then you get stuck in the line where there's one bozo in front of you & he's going to buy...everything! He's got 5 gallon s of milk, 12 cases of soda, 8 loaves of bread, & the entire soup isle in his cart - he's going to pay with a check! But he's not even going to dig out his checkbook until the cashier tells him the total & then has to do 5 minutes of rummaging to find the proper IDs when requested. & then there are the times when the old lady in front of you in the 8 items-or-less line has 12 items. The cashier never tells these people to get in another line, just lets them go on through - unless it's you, of course. That's when a 6-pack of soda counts as 6 items, right? It's bad enough that on a normal day you stand in line & have to deal with other people's screaming kids, BO & sneezing on the back of your neck, but throw any of these scenarios into the mix & you leave the store in a frothing frenzy. Or is that just me? Just needed to vent
