Please finish shopping first!

Is it really that hard to resist hopping into an available checkout even though you haven't finished shopping yet? Do I really look that lonely/bored/lazy that you must 'grace' me with your presence? Or do you get some sort of secret jolly out of saying 'I'll be right back with one more thing!' and holding up your fellow customers for 15 minutes, to come tromping back with half a cart full more of stuff, wearing a s***-eating grin?

Too bad you didn't have time to put the first load back.


"Oh, gee I'm sorry! I thought you weren't coming back...."

I always tell people they can leave their things at the register, but they'll have to line up with everything once they come back. If they don't like it then sucks for them.

Ah, no. They always wait to deliver the line until I'm already halfway through ringing them up. By which time my empty lane has filled with other people ready to check out as well.

Fortunately, at least most of the time in these situations, none of the venomous glares are directed at me.

Sounds like something, one of my friends wife would do. BTW, I hate people like that, unless it is 5ft away, then it is alright. If it across the store, then you are on karma list
