If I have to go back and get something, I get out of line, unless I'm with someone and I know I'll be back before they are done ringing up the other items.

I know I haven't been posting much these past few months, but I think I've had a few good arguments on here.
I'm a civilized, well traveled, erudite gentleman. And I pride myself on that.
But I'm not a pushover.

Since the subject can't be avoided... Yes, it was a woman who abandoned the cart and later started the argument.
That she looked like Mick Jagger in a sundress is beside the point.

Maybe it was the beard that set her off.
Or that she encountered someone with the balls to stand up to her belligerence.
But either way, I enjoyed myself.

did you say "excuse me sir I didn't realize you were in line"?

speaking of rude customers I just saw some old woman go through a drive thru with two little yippy dogs hanging half out the window. I fucking hated that when I worked the drive thru when I was a kid.

Haha.

You know, this sort of thing is why Southwest Airlines changed the way people line-up before flights. People claiming unattended space, wtf.

She's lucky you didn't go all Wordjitsu on her saggy ass.

I used to work at grocery stores at it happens all the time... i recall this happening 2-3 times and most of the time i (as the cashier) would ask the guy behind the abandoned cart to move forward...

the best is people in the 8 items or less line...... if somebody had more than 8 items the manager always said to ask "so which 8 items do you want today?"

I wouldn't wait at all. Move the cart and get my shit done. The grocery shopping experience is getting more and more annoying because of shit like this.

They would try to say "are you serious?" then i would respond with the bs comment "yes - this cash register only accepts 8 items"... and they have to go to another cash register or drop the items :chuckle:
