...but my boss thought it was funny too. Just gave me a small warning. 
It's Monday, people are checking out at the front end. Mostly, we're dead, so we only have around 4 lines open. You know how on these dead days you get these weird random rushes of half the store wanting to check out all at the same time, but it takes less than 5 minutes for it to clear? It was during one of these...
Also, our store does not have express lines, reason being we're a bulk store, so the average person only buys about 10-15 items anyway. This is relevant:
Me: shakin' my marketin' thang
SC: duh
SC: HEY YOU!
(I look up from scanning a card, standing away from the lines near the closed registers is a lady with her cart of maybe 9 or 10 items.)
SC: Where's your express line?
Me: I'm sorry, *company* doesn't have express lines.
SC: That's stupid! I only have a few items!
(I've been working on the same promotion on the front end for 3 weeks STRAIGHT, I have 3 weeks to go, and I'm starting to burn out from all the rude people I'm encountering during it. At this point, my brain to mouth filter fails)
Me: So does everyone else, which is why they're in line.
A guy in line cracked up at this comment, later my manager sent me into the office. She was laughing, and told me to just be careful what I said next time, and let me work on another marketing project for a while to clear my head.
