I've been holding this one back due to the boards being down.
Last Friday (you know, the 4th of July WEEKEND Friday), I had to stop at my local Wally World for a few things. It was beyond packed. Every single register was open and the lines had at least 10 people per line.
Enter the Entitled Woman. I was at the end of one of the express lines waiting my turn. She came in with her two kids hanging off the end of her cart, eating pretzels from a bag she was buying (I hate when people do this). She switched lines about 4 times before she decided my line was moving quickest.
She proceeded to whine about how looong the wait was, and how her time was valuable, and that she had kids and shouldn't be made to wait... and why didn't Wal*Mart hire more cashiers? This was ridiculous... blah blah blah
My 4 year old and I were just smiling and not saying anything. And my 4 year old was doing a better job of waiting in line than this lady was.
But it gets better.
There were two express registers running side by side. Each of them had their own separate line. Well, when she got close enough, she decided to cut in to the front of the line on the register next to us because she had kids and was tired of waiting. The people in line behind her actually let her go - I think it might have been so they didn't have to hear her whine anymore.
While she was getting rung up, apparently she picked up a picture from a clearance aisle that was supposed to be only $5.00 but the register rang it up as $10.00. You would have thought the cashier killed Christ. Because it was the cashier's fault that she had to wait in line so long, and it was also her fault the picture rang up at the wrong price, and now she had to wait even longer in line, and Wal*Mart does this stuff on purpose, and now she should get the picture for free for all her trouble and how dare Wal*mart hire such lazy employees. Well, cashier took it really well, and ended up calling a manager over to resolve the problem and started helping the people behind the Entitled One.
As I walked off with my daughter listening to her kvetch at the manager, I said, "See, Valerie? That's how not to act in a store. Ever." The woman heard me and was
but I did get a grin from the manager as I walked away.
Seriously, who goes shopping on a holiday weekend at Wal*Mart and doesn't expect a line/wait? In fact, who goes shopping anywhere on a holiday weekend and doesn't expect a wait?
