I've stated this before, and I'll state it again. There is no such thing as an express line in South Florida, no matter what store you go in. My favorite department store lately is Target, mainly because the personnel are friendly and courteous, unlike Wal-Mart. I went to get a baseball cap for my son, and a t-shirt for my daughter. That's it, and it's an easy exchange, right? Don't bet on it.
Only two lines were open, including the express. In the regular line, there was this mom with her two kids, and one of them was complaining about how he wasn't allowed to get something. In the express line, two elderly ladies were there with about six items, and the entire time it was, "Are you sure you want this dish? It looks like it's damaged." "No, it looks fine to me." "Yeah, but it looks like it has a mark on it." Then, after it was decided they would keep this precious dish, it rang up wrong! So, I then had to wait for this price check, and kept listening to this woman go on about how damaged this plate looked, and mumble to nobody in particular.
Meanwhile, the line with Mom and her two kids, despite her having about thirty items, moved lightning fast, and that was when I decided to get behind them. Lo and behold, I checked out within two minutes, and the old lady was still going on about her damaged dish, and waiting on the price check.
I certainly hope Target never installs self checkouts, because these people would certainly mess it up for the rest of us who know what we're doing, plus check our goods to be sure they're not damaged before announcing it to the entire store.
Express checkouts? What's that?
