Last weekend, we went to Party City to pick out the Halloween costumes for the kids. It took a while as many people have made this a popular spot for this fun holiday, but that was no big deal. It was pretty much a lot of fun, right up until we got to the check out line.
PCE (Party City Employee)
SC (You know who)
SC's F (SC's Friend, although we at first were not aware of this, but found she was as sucky as SC was)
SC (to PCE): Excuse me, young man. Are you a manager?
PCE: No, maam, I'm not. I'm a cashier who is getting ready to open another line.
SC: Oh, well, that young lady made me go to the end of the line, and I was standing there for a few minutes while she ignored me.
PCE: Well, I'm sorry about that. We have a line that you have to get in, and we'll ring you up when it's your turn.
SC: (Just stands there looking pissed off)
Now, there were about five people in front of me, waiting for their turns to come. When PCE opened his register, this happened next, with SC's F standing next to her:
SC's F: Oh, is that a new line? Good! (And whipped her cart around, took off in the other direction, and flew to PCE's line before he said the words "Next in line please!"
PCE: (Looking perplexed, but said nothing while SC followed her)
Well, PCE took their orders while the lady in front of me uttered how great it is people like that get special treatment while the rest of us wait. Meanwhile, we all got to hear how their grandkids will just love these new costumes, etc, etc.
I'm also sure these are the same people who get preferential treatment with handicapped parking, yet have the energy to fly and beat people to the check out lines in stores. Unreal.
