So I made the mistake of going to Kroger yesterday late in the afternoon. The store itself wasn't *too* crowded - which means yeah it was a little but... o well.
Then I went to get gas... that was the real mistake. O boy there was quite a line but I needed gas cos my new job is 25 miles away and it eats at my tank. I finally got to the machine and it told me I had to take my card up to the desk to use.
Ok, a little annoying but I can deal with it.
Enter the cast:
A - Attendant, lady running the gas booth
GSB - gas station bitch, impatient bitch on pump #1
Me -
A: Which pump?
Me: Um... 2? *I go to check*
GSB: *jumps to the attendant and starts barking out* RECEIPT FOR PUMP 1!
A: What amount was it?
GSB: PUMP ONE!
A: What amount was it?
GSB: PUMP ONE!
A: What amount was it?
GSB: PUMP ONE!
GSB: THIRTY TWO DOLLARS (or something like that!, with a huff of irritation)
A: prints out receipt.
GSB: *HUFF* It's not even accurate!! *HUFF! stalks off*
Me: ** Twenty dollars on pump number 2, please.
A: *takes a moment to regain her composure .. and then notices I'm being very polite*
Rest of transaction was very polite. I figure she needed someone to treat her with manners and call her ma'am - especially after GSB treated her like shit.
