    Not so much sucky as WTF ...

    Business was pretty brisk today (I was on a closing shift).

    One woman came through my line with between $200 and $300 worth of groceries.

    Customer (repeatedly): "Oh, I hope I've got everything for tomorrow! I hope I didn't forget anything!!"

    Me: (thinking) "Lady, it's ONE DAY. AND ... a couple of our sister stores are OPEN tomorrow, damn their managers' hides. And even if they weren't, given the haul you've got here, nobody is going to starve to death in one day."

    Then just as I'm ringing in the last few items ... "Oh no! I forgot the zucchini! I forgot the zucchini!!"



    Seriously, madam, if your entire New Year's celebration is ruined because you don't have ZUCCHINI ... all I can say is, I'll be having a better New Year's Day than you, with my two cats and my homemade (and hopefully edible) bean and bacon soup.

    I don't know if she wanted me to say "Oh, no problem, you can run and get it and I'll wait" but given that there were already two people behind her, that wasn't gonna happen. If zucchini is that important to her end-of-year celebrations, she was welcome to go get some, and then get back in one of the lines.

                That zucchini wasn't for the party itself -- it was for the after-party. A solo party, if you will.
