Grocery Shopping Pet Peave

When you’ve got a fairly big order starting to go down the belt, and someone gets in line behind you with only one or two items…expecting you to wave them through ahead of you.

It happened again today. I just ignored the woman. I mean, the 1-16 item express cash is there for a reason.

(Okay. Rant over)

I thought that was the standard.

Nope.

The person is too impatient to wait in the express line and expects me to allow her ahead of me.

Forget it. Why is her time any more valuable than mine?

The woman stood behind me until the last item was scanned, and then moved to the express line.

If she was trying to make me feel guilty, it didn’t work.

And the cashier girl kept looking back and forth at both of us!

Lol! Funny stuff. I hate it when youre in the express line and someone gets in line with like 30 things. Sometimes cashiers can be too chicken to call them out.

I was in a long line-up years ago waiting to use an automated banking machine.

This very old lady was taking forever at the machine. You could sense the growing tension among the people in line. Finally I blurted out…

“I think she’s trying to log on to the Internet.”

The whole line-up burst out laughing. It wasn’t the most original joke, but it was timely!

My shopping pet peave is people jamming the aisles with carts and then bullshitting with one another and the carts magically form a V shape so you can’t get through.

Oh…and old men taking five minutes to write out a check.

Blah!

:joy:

I must admit I love it when people let me go in front when I have like two items. But the supermarket I go to doesn’t have express check out

Im normally down as soon as they open to avoid the ques. But the bulk of my shopping i always do an online delivery.

There was one woman that really got on my tits the other day, the little boy was running around - which i dont mind, cos little ones will be like that, but bless him, she couldnt hear him cos she was slurping on a bloody coffee, and everytime he said “pardon me” quite politley - she echoed him in a way that was taking the piss.

Poor little boy. You could see the hurt in his face. Typical chavvy mother that opened her legs at 15 - with the mothering skills of a sewer rat.

I wouldn’t even bother looking behind me if I were you. It’s her choice to get behind someone with a big order or not. That’s her problem, not yours
