Had to go to the supermarket this morning for some stuff for a school potluck. There was only one line opened because it was so early, and there were two people ahead of me: an older woman and a middle-aged man. Later, a lady came up behind me. Well! It ended up being like I was watching CS threads come to life.
Older woman:
Waited until the cashier told her the total before she started sLoWLy digging through her giant purse to find her checkbook. She takes a minute to painstakingly write out the check (looked like she was practicing her calligraphy). Then she remembers she needs cash back! Okay, so she'll use her card now
She ended up taking out over $100, so much that the cashier had to go over to the customer service desk or something to get more cash for her. This whole time everybody is just staring at her. She, on the other hand, seems totally oblivious that there are other people in the world at all.
Middle aged guy:
Not really a sucky CUSTOMER, per say, but when I came up to the belt, he had his 5 items just splayed over the entire thing, which was completely unnecessary. I waited a moment to see if he would move his stuff so I could put my own stuff down, because there would have been plenty of room. Unfortunately for me he is too busy pretending that he can pull off the "surfer look" past the age of 40. He probably thought I was staring at him, NOT because I wanted him to die slowly (truth), but because I wanted to rip his clothes off and just do him right there. Since he didn't have anything fragile, I got one of those divider thingies and just shoved his stuff down a little so I could put my basket down at least. (Maybe I should have first asked him to make room, but I was kind of pissed at his inconsiderateness in general
)
Me!
Yes I was kind of a SC today! I only had $20, so when the guy rang me up, the total ended up being 21 something. Embarassed, I asked him to put one thing back. He did, and then he swiped my club card (duh). The total went down to where I could afford the item I had put back! So I asked him to add it back on. I tried to be really polite about it, but I'm sure it was annoying
Lady behind me:
Kind of funny... unless you're an employee that is. Lady walks up with a basket. She reaches into the basket and pulls out a carton of raspberries, and then stuffs it purposefully into one of the magazine racks. It was hard to believe. She acted like it made perfect sense to just leave perishable produce any old place. At this point I felt like I was surrounded by the most stereotypical SC's ever. When it was my turn I grabbed them and gave them to the cashier. Just so they wouldn't drip all over the place...
I felt really bad for that cashier
He was a real pro about it all!

Esp the OP
Seriously... let's count our blessings and whatnot. I've never seen anybody ever be so inconsiderate about that though. Especially if you have a basket and you're standing there holding it... If I was an old lady I would have whacked him with my purse.
