I had just started my lunch hour at my job and needed to get gas. I was in a hurry, because I still wanted to be able to eat my lunch and relax a bit before going back to work. I stopped at the first gas station on my way home and ran inside to prepay.
When I walked into the (VERY TINY) convenience store, the one and only cashier was being bothered by a pushy cigarette distributor. (I'm not sure what the job title is - but it's basically people who work for a tobacco company and try to get more space for their specific brand of cigarettes at gas stations.) The woman was going on and on about different products and what the gas station could sell, while the cashier seemed completely uninterested and kept repeating that she couldn't help the distributor as it wasn't her responsibility to decide what to sell in the store.
The distributor would not take a hint. She kept talking and talking, and since the store was so small, she was blocking my path to the cash register. I was getting pissed off, because I'm standing there waiting patiently while she gabs, and the cashier isn't waving me over.
Finally, after about 4 or 5 minutes of waiting, the cashier asks me what I need. I am able to pay and GTFO of there.
SERIOUSLY, distributor lady, what is the problem? Not only are you not listening to the cashier (SHE CAN'T MAKE PRODUCT DEALS - SHE'S ONLY A CASHIER), you're BLOCKING CUSTOMERS by parking your ass in front of the only cash register. Take a hint and get out of the store!
