Cash It and Bag It Or…

 You Wouldn’t Believe 


There I am, waiting in the checkout line at the grocery store, minding my own business, when this lady in front of me decides to turn a simple transaction into her own personal shopping spree.

She already has two baskets! Two whole baskets of groceries, and I guess that’s not enough. Then she's keeps running off, and has the nerve to look back at everyone and smile saying sorry while we’re waiting. Then she comes back, then does the impossible and says "just one more thing." What?! Lady, did you forget how to shop at a grocery store? You're supposed to make you list so you can get everything you need before you get in line!


And the cashier - bless their heart- just keeps on scanning her items like this is totally normal. Meanwhile, the line behind me is getting longer by the second. We're all stuck here, watching this one-woman run back and forth like she the only one in line.


"Oh, I forgot something!" she said for the third time, fast walking off down the aisle. Yeah, you forgot something alright - how to shop at a grocery store and common courtesy! There are other people in this checkout line you know. We've all got places to be, things to do. But no, apparently your time is more valuable than everyone else's combined.


I swear, if she comes back with another "forgotten" item or I’m going to put this back and grab the cheap one.  I might lose it. This isn't your personal supermarket playground. Get your mind right, and make a list of the things you need next time, and form the people in line with love, finish your shopping before you get in line!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
