Went to the local warehouse store to pick up a few things and had a few minor sights.
Changing lanes
First stop was the meat counter. I needed some ribeyes for the grill (yum!), and was trying to make my way through the crowd. Just as a path opened up, some dumb broad veered suddenly to her right and cut me off completely, oblivious to the glare I sent her way.
Forklift Follies
Went to a specific lane to pick up ONE item . . . and found it roped off. In spite of this, one couple went under the tape and leisurely strolled up the aisle, oblivious to the fact that in the next aisle, a man with a forklift was moving pallets. One wrong move, and something very heavy could have been dropped on their heads.
It's not that hard
Went to checkout. As the cashier rings me up, she hesitates and says, "Ma'am, the computer says it's time to renew." Her tone was meek and apologetic.
Me: OK, just add it on, then.
Cashier:
Wow, you really made that easy.
Me: Well, it's really not that hard.
I didn't ask, but I guess from her reaction that she gets a lot of sucky customers who throw hissy fits when this comes up.
It didn't occur to me to protest. It's a pay to shop club. You want to shop, you got to pay. If I didn't have the money for the membership I would have had to put the stuff back. I wouldn't have liked it . . . but then again, I knew it was getting close to that time of year, and I usually hit the warehouse store the first or second week of the month after I've been paid and I've got the cash.
