New kind of rage

Grocery rage

[Gibbo]

The woman should've been charged with Assult & Brocolli

*cringe*

I would've thought people had better things to do considering the world terrorism situation an' all.

Still, makes me laugh

*spot the man with the sick sense of humor*

Think about this!

How many times have you been in the ten items or less line and looked in the carriage in front of you and seen a lot more than ten items?

And what were your thoughts?

[Gibbo]

How many times have you actually beaten into someone for haveing an extra item ?

p.s Welcome to Techimo

Truly, the only people that really bug me are the ones that wait until everything is totaled up- then they start digging for their checkbook.

[cadetstimp]

Ahh, it's deceiving ....... the express line is usually the slowest anyways.

The Express line is the #1 checker that has to man the register all day.....therefore they don't care how fast they go... not mention they gab way too much and always make tender mistakes that require a call for the "key".

I hate to say it but the #1 checker is usually the worst performer in the store....otherwise the manager would be using them for ordering or managing a department.

I always look for the register with the manager or assistant manager.....they can't wait to get off the register and can usually check out 4 customers for every 1 done by anyone else.

Well, if I'm in a store like Wal-Mart where I will only have a few items.....I go to the Customer Service or some other department to check out

Grocery stores.....dunno, not much you can do about that....I scan all the lines, making judgements on how much stuff the people have in the line and what kind of people they are (old ladies, etc.)....yes, can be very analytical

Oh, yeah..I gotta get in on this one!

Checking out at Von's grocery, I had two items, and cash. No prob, right? Only one lady in line... HAH!

First she has 10 items in the 9 item or less line...well, ok, I'm not that picky. Uh...but this line is Cash ONLY & she has to pay with food stamps. D@mn...the other lines are all jammed.

Oh...geeze...thinking about my nice bank account calmed me down...thank God I'm not on food stamps. But wait! She has cigarettes. You can't buy cigarettes with food stamps, so she has to dig in her purse for $3.00 in nickels & dimes and make a second transaction.

Grrrr...take a deep breath...I've got a wad of twenties in my wallet...this poor gal has to scrounge pennies for her cigarettes. OK...I'm feeling sorry for her again & counting my lucky stars. Yup, thank God I'm not a poor old ugly fat woman on food stamps.

Oh...the free bread. If you buy five loaves of bread in one month, you get a free loaf. The checker has to check her little card & the bag boy runs to get her free bread. I'm about ready to take that loaf of bread and stuff it right up her blasted......EASY BOY!!! Face it, bread is 69 cents. You've passed up that free bread yourself. Geeze, this lady's kids might be eatin' peanut butter off a spoon if she doesn't get her free bread. I calm myslf down. Again. Oh crap...my ice cream is starting to melt now. Ahh...they're done finally...

BUT WAIT AGAIN! She wants to rent a freakin' RUG DOCTOR! No Way! Send her out of here! This is the ding dang EXPRESS LANE fer cryin' out loud! Oh...crap! The checker goes to the Rug Doctor check out book...wait a minute...she's never rented out the Rug Doctor before...calling the assistant manager...he comes over. Ok...sign here...show your ID card...you need the special soap with that? ...uhh...how much is it...$7.99...OK...gimmee the soap too...how you wanna pay?...a check...A CHECK??? IN THE EXPRESS LANE??? NO WAY! He's gonna take her check. (Hey...this ice cream is dripping now...it's making a little puddle on the conveyor belt...come on...send her elsewhere...please?) Crap he's taking the check!

Oh..this check doesn't have the same address as your driver's license. We'll need a $50 cash deposit for the Rug Doctor. (Wheeewww...It's over!)... but, no, wait...she's digging in her purse...She's GOT the $50 CASH! SHE PAID WITH FOOD STAMPS AND NICKELS AND SHE HAS CASH??? A big WAD of CASH?

Grrr....My ice cream is dying now, and I'm hot enough to steam the carpet myself!

OK...Harry take this Rug Doctor out to the lady's car...Uhhh, which one is it? Ummm...it's the red Eldorado.

Eldorado??? She dirves a freakin' ELDORADO !?!?!?

AAAAUUUUGGGGHHH!!!!!

(I'm sorry, but there are absolutely no smileys that describe my mental state at this time. Suffice it to say that they were lucky I didn't pick up the special deal on serrated steak knives in the meat department.)

Wow caddmannq -

You summed up pretty much every thought that runs through my head each time that happens to me. I recently got stuck in line behind a woman at Wal Mart with two carts full of crap (I had maybe 4 items). I really didn't have a choice as there were three lanes open (the other 10+ lanes were closed) and maybe about 10 people in each lane. After the cashier rang up all of the contents of the carts, the woman whips out coupons, food stamps and the checkbook. The cashier starts the mathamatical equations. Then she has to call the manager for check approval. The manager declined the check. Now the woman has the cashier start taking items out the reduce the amount to equal the amount of cash she had.

I laid down my items and walked out to the car. I don't need anything that bad to wait in line for 30+ minutes when I could just go to another nearby store and be in and out in 10.
