Went to Publix again yesterday to get stuff for sandwiches, which was ham, turkey, lettuce, cheese and bread. Five things, that's all. I again got to the ten items or less line when Frozen Pie Crust Lady had to race and beat me there, with this ensuing:
FPCL (Frozen Pie Crust Lady): Excuse me (to C, the cashier), I have these two frozen pie crusts here.
C: Yes, maam (and take into account, FPCL has not begun unloading her cart yet)
FPCL: Well, I need to know if these are good for making quiche.
C: I'm not really sure. I have never made one before
FPCL: I need to know. Are you sure you don't know if this is good for quiche?
C: I haven't ever made one, so I'm not sure.
FPCL: Are they good for making apple pies? I just love baking those.
C: I could not say. (My guess is C probably isn't much of a baker herself, but is being polite to FPCL).
FPCL: I really need to know. The bottom of these crusts look awful thin. Do you think they might break while in the oven? (And she still has not unloaded anything from her cart so C can start scanning)
By this time, I gave up and went to another line that had one person with about fifteen items, but was checking out. The cashier there took care of me, and as I was gathering my bags, FPCL was still at the register, talking to C, although it did look like she had finally unloaded her stuff.
I wish these people would read "express check out" when they enter these lines, and stop deciding to race other people who have it together and simply want to check out, not ask a bunch of stupid questions and hold others up.
