Idiot at the grocery store
This jerk was all kinds of fail!
What happened was, I was shopping for groceries and had about half a cart, enough for me for the week or so. I finish shopping and go to the checkout and there's one open with nobody in line. Nice.
So I walk up and start unloading my groceries on the belt and I'm about 1/3 of the way done when this guy comes up from behind me and says "Hey! You jumped ahead of me and took my spot!! I was in line here!"
I tell him there was nobody here when I came up and he says, "Well I was reading the newspaper!"
The newspapers are in the same aisle as the teller I was at but not actually at the checkout.
I tell him "Well, I've already started, you'll have to wait". He gets all huffy and starts saying stupid things like, "Who needs this much groceries? I've never seen anyone buy so many groceries!!"
He keeps on like this while I'm finishing unloading my cart. It doesn't take too long (thank goodness) as it wasn't that full to begin with.
He starts on about how long it's taking and how he just wants to buy the paper and the cashier and I exchange looks like
.
My stuff is all rung up and I pay while he's still blabbering on and then I go to pack my groceries and he finally gets to pay for his precious newspaper.
He said something else to me as he was leaving but I can't remember/didn't hear what it was.
Now, apart from his sucky attitude he is full of fail for the following reasons.
1) He was not in line!! He was reading a newspaper in the aisle. If he had been standing in line, how was I able to push my cart up to the teller and unload my stuff? Is he made of air? Is he invisible? Did the cart magically penetrate his body in some way allowing me to go through him? Of course the answer is no. He was nowhere near the check out and therefore not in line.
2) He's never seen anyone buy as much groceries as me and nobody needs that much groceries?? How does he like people to shop in a grocery store? Come in in the morning and buy some breakfast, come back at noon and buy some lunch? Same thing at dinner time? Every day, just so he doesn't have to wait in line behind someone who actually likes having food in their house? Pardon me if I'm not a woman of leisure who can spend all day running to and from the grocery store every time I get hungry! That's just stupid.
And finally,
3) And this is the stupidest of all, if all he wanted was a newspaper, why go all the way into the grocery store to get it instead of the newsstand next door? He had to pass it to get to the grocery store!
And that is three levels of fail for this idiot! And I was only shopping for myself, if I had a big family and had to do shopping for them it probably would have blown his mind! But I would have liked to have seen that- his head exploding!
