Top this for inconsideration

Fat old broad has about $150. worth of groceries.

Cashier checks them through fairly quickly and they accumulate at the end of the belt until the entire area is completely filled.

Fat old broad begins the slow process of bagging said groceries............one item at a time.

Cashier is just standing there because fat old broad won't let her bag...........she want's the groceries packed in the bags a certain way.

Cashier cannot take the next person in line (just ahead of me) because fat old broad has not yet paid.............and, apparently, is not going to pay until every last item is bagged.

Fat old broad suggests to whomever might be listening that she'll go even slower if anybody doesn't like it.

10 minutes later she finally waddles over to the credit card swipe box and begins the search for a suitable card. Two minutes later, she finds it and completes the transaction.

I must say that I did well.............watched this idiot and chose not to get into it with her...........because if I did, I would have had to dump all her crap onto the floor and the manager would have came out and took the side of the old broad...........etc...........etc.

Top that.

Nah.........out here.

I was thinking of you while I was standing in line. In fact, that was the only thing that stopped me.............thinking of what you might do.

Out "east" on Lawn Guyland?

Honestly, if I were home in NYC, I'd have walked out and had the groceries delivered or just gone somewhere else. Life's too short to put up with numbskulls. This being said, the local Fairway isn't bad since it generally has quite a few cashiers open, and a hyperactive little lady directing traffic to the next open register on busy pre-holiday nights. So rather than individual lines, you end up with an semi-amorphous blob of people being passed wherever it's fastest for them to go -- works pretty well.

This is why Amazon is the best place to shop. You don't have to deal with annoying people.

Actually, it's Blue Point, but I understand that you can't spell.

Going someplace else will consume way more than 12 minutes. Another action without consideration of the lost time.
