OK, I was standing in the express line (8 items or less) at the local supermarket today. I looked up, and this woman standing in front of me had 32 (I counted) items on the counter. Seriously, can't people be a little more considerate!!!!! As I was waiting to pay for my ONE item, I started counting hers out loud as they were ringing her up. Then she turns to me and says "Is there a problem?".
"HELL YES THERE'S A PROBLEM!!!" I shouted to her disbelief. "Your making me take time out of MY schedule to save time on YOURS. You can count, can´t you??"
Well, she huffed at my outburst and then had the nerve pull out a cheque book to pay for it. Now how the hell can she balance a cheque book, and not be able to count past 8!!! For fucks´sake!! I know by the look on her face when I pointed to the "8 items or less" sign that she'd noticed the sign, but blatantly didn't care. I know she would have been pissed if my boot ended up on her face, but what makes people think they can get away with this crap??? I swear, stores need to start enforcing those signs and stop ringing em up at the 8th item and send em to the back of the line for the rest. Those lines are there for a reason....and without enforcement, people are going to continue to get inconvenienced by convenience store lines. My vote..... Napalm!!! Burn the fuckers if the bell rings past 8!!!
