At the grocery
Today, I had to do a little grocery shopping on the way home from the post office, and one of those annoying things happened that kind of ruined my good mood for a few minutes, though after joking around with the clerk I got my spirits back up.
I was on my way to the checkout and like everyone else I try and pick the shortest line. There was a line with two ladies in it and they seemed to be together, so that was going to be the fast line, nope. It seemed like they wanted to know the price of several of their items and then putting things back. They also had their items split up in three different purchases. Four people went through the next line over while these two were getting checked out. I held back saying anything, but I was really tempted.
Anyway after they left I told the cashier “oops I didn’t want to get that, or that or that” and after she looked at me in horror she figured out I was joking and we had a good laugh. Sometimes I just don’t understand people. The prices are posted, and everything has a description on it. If they are worried about running out of funds they can always carry a calculator.
Anyway that was today’s experience, and at least they didn’t have coupons or WIC vouchers which makes the line go even slower.
