Some people just don't know when to keep their mouths shut!
The bf and I needed to go to the bank to make a deposit this morning (his credit card payment didn't get there in time so I put some money in and spotted him the money to pay online. Hey, might as well pay twice then not at all, right?). Anyway, while we were down by the bank we decided that we might as well do our grocery shopping and save a second trip down there at night. We much prefer to do our shopping at night because there is usually very little crowding at the stores we like to frequent.
Anyway, we picked a few things up at the grocery store, then proceeded to wait in line. Now, of course, this being the weekend before Thanksgiving means that everybody and their grandmother is out at the grocery store. We had a few too many items for the express line, not to mention that the line was long there as well, so we waited behind everybody who had a cart full of stuff.
That's when we ended up behind this winner... She looks at us with our small basket of stuff (about 14 or 15 items) and says, "Why don't you go down to the express line? There's nobody waiting there!"
At this point, my bf said, "Well, actually, we have too many items for the express line. It's ten items or fewer."
Not to be outdone, snarky woman said, "Oh, who cares! They'll take you anyway!"![EEK!](https://www.customerssuck.com/board/core/images/smilies/eek.png)
I wanted to smack snarky woman at this point. Bf was obviously agitated and responded. "That's not the point. The point is, we obviously have more than ten items! And besides, in some places people actually get beat up for even having so much as one item over the limit! Didn't you hear about the person in Massachustts that happened to? I'd rather not take my chances."
The woman shut up and ignored us at this point. Good, the conversation was going nowhere anyway. It was a bad day to go grocery shopping. Don't even get us started about the woman who let us in line since we had so few items and she had a cartload and just proceeded to totally cut us in line when a new line opened up. Then to top it all off she just had to write a check and get two cartons of cigarettes! Boy am I glad I'm home now!
