This happened a few months back, but I just remembered it. It's a shorty, but I found it pretty hilarious.
I was standing in line to buy clothes at a JTMaxx. There was only one checker up front and a large line started forming. To be fair, it seemed like everyone in the store was ready to check out, so it caught the cashier by surprise. A second cashier was called up after a minute or two. It wasn't too long.
Next to the cashier booths is the jewelery and return desk. The sign above the desk clearly says "RETURNS". A lady is standing at the counter, giving nasty looks at the very busy cashier. She's sighing, *tsk*ing, tapping her long, ugly fake nails on the glass counter. A second line opens, and the people behind me move to the newly opened register. The lady FLIPS at this.
Lady: EXCUSE ME!!!11!!
*silence* No one looks at her. Cashiers are busy ringing people up.
Lady: HELLO, I WAS HERE FIRST!1!!
Cashier: *looks over to lady at return counter* Are you making a return?
Lady: NO! I need to buy these clothes!!
Cashier: You'll have to get in one of the lines to purchase clothes. That's the return counter.
Lady:*splutters* THOSE LINES ARE LOOONG! (this lady could be heard in the back of the store, I swear)
Cashier: I'm sorry, but that is the return counter.
Lady: I've been standing here for 10 minutes! Nobody told me that! (except for the big red sign hanging in front of your face)
Cashier says nothing. I wouldn't have either, because I'd be busy biting my tongue off.
Lady: (even louder) I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO WAIT IN LINE!!
Cue Hick Lady. I could see her getting in bar brawls. Lady is big and has an attitude.
HL: *laughs* Deal, sweetie! We're all waiting!
Lady: *huffspluttertsk* This is VERY unreasonable! I'm NOT happy about this!
(keep in mind, she's STILL standing at the return counter. Several other people have joined the que.)
HL: Think you're too good to get in line like the rest of us? Think you're better and more important than everyone else in this store?
Lady: *more huffing and spluttering and "Well I never's"*
By this time, I was at the register paying. The poor cashier looked pissed off. I looked her in the eye and said "I hope you have a better day" then left. As I was leaving, hick lady and crotchety lady's faces were getting closer and closer to each other, each of them yelling louder and louder. I was laughing hysterically out to my car. The lady looked like my elementary school English teacher.
