Went to Wallyworld to buy my friend some travel bottles for lotions and stuff for her trip to Ireland, because I have her other ones, and can't get them cleaned out fast enough (I literally forgot I had 'em.). No big deal, cost me 4 bucks to get her the larger travel bottles, and for four of them, it's not bad. Head to the line after grabbing chips and dip for a movie night at another friends house, and jump in a checkout.
This is NOT the express lane. Remember this as you continue reading!
Behind of me is one of our housekeepers with a very cranky six month old. Seeing as she only has a bottle of formula to pay for, and I can tell the longer they wait, the crankier Auggie will be, I let her head of me. Everything's fine until the lady behind HER noticed the switch.
Idiot: Well look. she let one person ahead of her, why not the rest of us? I'm in a hurry too. Maybe I should have brought my teenager, she'd let me ahead if I had a child. *random mumblings.*
I let it go, still talking to the housekeeper who is also happily ignoring the lady. We were joking about the crew that came in, and she paid for her stuff, said thanks and left. I put my stuff on the conveyor, smile to the clerk as she rings my stuff up and can't help but glance at the lady that was behind me.
She's got her hands on her hips, and is glaring at me. "Yes, child?"
"Just wondering why a grown woman was making such a big deal out of common courtesy." I smile, give the clerk my card, and hear the lady, "Because I'm in a hurry."
Me: *Seeing she's only got a magazine and a soda* "So.. why not go to the express lane if you're in SUCH a hurry. It's two items you have. You could have been out of here in the time it took you to whine and feet stomp like a child. I helped that woman because a cranky six month old isn't who should be out in public. I was trying to help her keep the child from a fit."
I hear the clerk laugh, and shake my head as I pick up my bag. "Have fun serving the empress behind me!"
Seriously, I'm going to DUCT TAPE the next person's mouth shut. It's a child, under the age of 4 that needs food and a nap. I'm not catering you to, but I will happily help a mother with a crank young child ANYDAY, regardless of if I know them.
