So I was in the grocery store for some light shopping, only needed 5 things and was hoping to get in & out really quickly. I get my 5 things and go to the express line because there were only 2 people in line ahead of me.
Person #1: Young woman with limited English and a screaming baby. Not sucky in and of itself except she thought this was the ideal situation to argue and question the price of EVERY FRICKIN' THING in her cart. While her baby still screamed. Finally she gets done and I heave a mental sigh of relief that she and the screaming baby will be leaving. BUT she pulls far enough ahead to get out of the way--not to comfort her child, no that would be too easy--but to rearrange every shopping bag, go over the receipt, do some head scratching, anything but take care of her SCREAMING baby. Did I mention the baby was SCREAMING?!!!! (it was one of those cries that resembles a crow trying to sing Klingon opera--major annoying)
Person #2: Guy with 3 items. Should have been quick. Except that in response to cashier's simple question of "do you have our Savings Card?" Responds with a mini rant on savings card, names off all the different store savings card he has, debates the merits of savings cards...WHO CARES? Just pay and get out of line!!
Took me 25 minutes to get through the store. Bah!, I say.
