When I go to the grocery store lately, I have found myself taking my handful of items to a regular checkout line. The "express" line seems to take longer than any other line in the store anyway, and lately it seems to attract every inconsiderate asshole within twenty miles. It's like flypaper.
I was behind a woman a week or two ago, who was in the clearly signed express line, which is clearly marked, in large letters, EXPRESS - 15 ITEMS OR LESS - ATM/CASH ONLY. She had a cart piled full, I mean up over the sides and packed into the bottom too. I stood behind her for a few minutes, hoping against hope that she would notice the LARGE SIGN! Needless to say, she never noticed. The guy in line behind me said "I guess the express lane ain't what it used to be huh?" The overloaded cart woman turned around and looked at him like he had just told her her leg had fallen off. I said to her "I guess less is more..." and left the line. I went to the next regular line. The other guy followed me because he was fed up too.
While I was waiting for my ATM card to be approved, I looked over at "her lowness", and could not believe my eyes. SHE WAS WRITING A GODDAMNED CHECK!!! I was flabbergasted. And the whole time, the sheep in line behind her said nothing, nor did the cashier. Why the hell not just do away with the whole express line. No, wait, better yet, make it like the carpool lane. If someone feels they are too good to go in the regular lines with their two ton cart... CITE THE BASTARDS.
I think $275 would be sufficient...
Addendum (there's another cool word): I see Officer Wright has had a similar experience.
