Today, the swamp started another Super Duper Uber Mega Super Stupendous Lowest Prices of the Season sale. I stopped in to buy a pair of jeans and a few other things, because prices won't be this low until....late next month or sometime in August, when we have our Back to School Super Duper Uber Mega Super Stupendous Lowest Prices of the Season sale, which is not to be confused with this one.
There was a sizable line for the the three open checkout lanes. This was at about 4 in the afternoon. Generally we don't get slammed with the after-work shoppers until 5, so I take it today was a busy day.
Behind me in line was some old guy with a walker and some woman who must've been a daughter or a caretaker. Among his purchases was one of those inflatable doughnut cushions that's good to sit on if you have hemorrhoids.
One of the cashiers called for additional cashiers to the checkouts to get the line moving. Shortly after that the woman at the jewelry counter stepped out and announced she could check out people as well.
The old man behind me started to complain. "It would be stupid for me to go all the way over there! All the stores in town do this! They make you wait in long lines to check out! That's why everybody goes out of town to shop!"
And then he continued to complain as I and the rest of the people in front me checked out before got his turn at the register.
I get that he may not have been physically able to walk to the jewelry counter, but for Cthulu's sake shut your piehole and stop complaining! She was only trying to help.
