Was at the grocery store today, and I was using my reusable bag as a hand basket because this store never seems to have any available. (I know I shouldn't do this, read on...) First, I didn't see that a SCO opened up because I got distracted watching the weird error message on another guy's screen. So the attendant waved me over to the checkout. I dump out my bag, so I can put it on the scale. I forget that I had a bottle of hot sauce, which promptly rolls off the edge and shatters quite spectacularly. Now the attendant has to call for cleanup and to get another bottle, although I told him I could just go get it. I think this is my first time ever breaking something at a store.
Now I'm standing off to the side, since someone was already looking for the hot sauce. Other customers keep pointing at the giant hot sauce mess as if the poor attendant hadn't noticed the red liquid on the floor directly in front of him. It wasn't even in the way, it broke in between two checkouts, and the attendant was very close, trying to call over the phone to get help. Meanwhile, the original guy who had the error message somehow had the whole register rebooting, and he was standing over to the other side of the SCOs looking resigned.
Nobody ever came to clean up the mess while I was there, so the attendant was trying to at least sweep up the glass (probably ruining the broom), and it took two tries to get the right hot sauce, although that wasn't anybodies fault because I couldn't remember the brand name and the label was not readable. Now I have a day off, and will just drink coffee and hot chocolate and watch the rain, while safely inside not causing any problems.
