Get moving!!!!! Are you kidding me?
Waiting in line drives me nutty at the best of times. Then, you add a dumbass to the mix and my brain feels like it's going to explode.
So last night I had a "hankering" for some yogurt. So, I leave my fortress of solitude and head to the local grocery store. I walk in, grab my yogurt and a Coke Zero, and wait in line. The person in front of me had quite a few items, but they were there first. I respect that. So I wait it out. While I'm waiting I get to thinking that maybe a Coke at night is a bad idea. It might keep me up. So I head to the cooler and take it back. Literally 10 paces from the line. Plus, the person in front of me has a few items to ring through and some kind of payment to make. So, I make my move quickly. Quick and painless. No children died in the process. As I get back to the line, I find that the person who was behind me is now in front of me, waiting. My yogurt is now sitting behind her items. She has atleast 20 items. As she waits I ask her, "Ma'am I was actually right there a couple of seconds ago.". She snaps back with," Yeah, well it's called waiting in line for a reason. You left.". I felt as if I were in a Seinfeld episode. I mean, what are you thinking? It took all of my power to restrain myself from running to the produce section, grabbing a canteloupe, and going all Nolan Ryan on her ass. Anyway, the story doesn't end there. She continues to engage in a conversation with the person at the till. She's talking about her holidays and school. I'm sure she'd talk about her sex life, but judging by the cucumber she had in her basket, she didn't have much of one. So after about 2 minutes of conversation, she decides to pay ENTIRELY IN CHANGE!!!!!!!! Pennies, quarters, nickels. At this point I wasn't as upset, as I was amused. She flops ALL of the change onto the counter. Counts it out like she's trying to split an atom. Finally she gets through, I ring my yogurt through. And I'm on my way. Never to see this lady again. Was it a big deal? No. Is anybody gonna die? Nope. But it was a genuine Seinfeld moment in the making. So lady, enjoy your food. I hope the clerk put your chicken in with your pine sol. Later.

That Silly Cow
oh Chad.... she sounds like a cow.. and yeah with that attitude she's probably not getting much other than the cucumber.... that was freakin hilarious that you typed that... and payback I hope she reads it... maybe she'll think twice the next time!
I think I'll buy my cucumber in private now though, do men automatically think that if a woman is buying a cucumber they are "in need" of something?
Hope you enjoyed your yogurt!!
:)
We don't think that
my day at the grocery store
I went grocery shopping yesterday at a big store on 8th street, ya know with more than groceries. I'm in the change room trying on a top, and over heard a woman and child outside the change rooms, heading in. The little girl (I'd say no older than three), says mommy I have to pee. Instead of the woman saying ok let's get to the bathroom, which is just on the other side of the store, I hear her say, oh just wait, I hear her opening her bag, pulling out a diaper, putting it on her daughter, and says... ok you can pee now, (even the little girl quesioned it) then I hope she took the diaper off... I was sick to my stomach and had to leave the change room immediately shaking my head....I walked away... but watched the woman as she came out, walking to her hubby telling him what had happened (WTF, could the hubby have not taken her to the potty, while she was trying on clothes) good thing I didn't bump into that woman I don't know what I would have said cause I was LIVID at her inability to walk 50 ft to take her daughter to the bathroom instead of letting her stand their in her own pee. I'm a mother, and I realize that bathroom stops sneak up on children (and some adults), but let's teach our children to pee in appropriate places, instead of freakin change rooms. If she/he is old enough to say I have to pee, and she/he is telling you, take the time to listen to their understanding of the concept and take them to the bathroom PLEASE!
I went straight to get my groceries after that... and once I got to the cucumbers (for my pita, not for sex), I was paranoid to even check them for their firmness, BUT I SUCCEEDED and got home for my yummy cucumber/turkey pita!! (it was ALMOST better than sex)
Cool man
Way to threaten violence against a woman. because you fu*&ed up. Cool man real cool.
smoke some more crack buddy!
Are you serious, good lord, I'm a woman, and never once was I offended by what he typed. Infact, I laughed my ass off, because I've been in line behind people like that, where they have to talk about anything and everything, and count their pennies, and that's men and woman!
What?
I worked in a grocery store
I worked in a grocery store for 3 and a half years and I never once saw someone go in front of someone that had already put there stuff on the counter (accept for the old chinese guy from the restaurant next door that pretended to not know english) unless they said they could. Of course factor in the fact that I live in Biggar and small town ways are a little different, but I still can't believe that lady did that. I have, however, seen people pay in all change and when you are the cashier that is SO annoying and I've seen the people in line rolling there eyes at these people......long story short.....wouldn't recommend working in a grocery story (yes I know that has nothing to do with the story)
I used to be a cashier and I
I used to be a cashier and I would have told that lady you were there first if I was your cashier! You surprisingly get people like that ALL the time and I always told them where to go (in a nice way of course...I wanted to keep my job).
You've got to be kidding
You've got to be kidding me!!! I'm surprised you didn't freak out. I totally would have...
