So, this is the second day in a row I've gone to Kroger after work. And the second day in a row I've come out of the store thinking "Did that just really happen?". I have to share
So Thursday, I get my groceries, I go to the checkout, minimal fuss. While the (teenage) cashier is scanning my groceries, a teenage boy walks up to the register (not 2 feet from where I'm standing), and says to the cashier "I'm mad at you". She looks up at him and giggles, and they start into a conversation, leaning over the counter to whisper and everything. WHILE SHE'S STILL RINGING UP MY GROCERIES. And no, he didn't have anything to buy, he was just standing there. I think what really pissed me off about it was I ended up bagging most of my groceries myself, because it seemed that she was unable to do that while her head was turned, carrying on her conversation. And at the end, no "bye" "thank you" "have a nice day" or anything. It was like I wasn't even there! I thought about calling or complaining or something, but I generally give myself 24 hours to think about something like that before I'll actually react to it, cause I don't wanna fly off the handle or anything, and today it just didn't seem like a big deal anymore.
So today, I needed to pick up a few more things, and my six-year old was with me. I get to the register, and there's a lady in one of those electric carts, with a teenager with her, helping her check out. No big deal, she's taking awhile, but hey, we don't have anywhere we need to be. So she finishes, and moves up, so I push my cart up to the card machine. I start to run my card thru, and all of a sudden, I get slammed by my cart. I look up, and the lady has backed the electric cart into my cart! I made sure my son was ok, then reentered my card info. The bagger smirked and said "I hope she isn't driving". Seriously, though, my son was standing really close to me, between me and the card machine, and the only thing that kept our cart from hitting him in the head was, um, my well-endowed...well, you know. The lady was apologetic, and I didn't throw a hissy fit or freak out, it was an accident after all, but just a lovely end to a looooong week
