OMFG, what is up with people? About an hour ago, maybe, I had a nice little blow up between customers right in front of me at the register. What had happened was an elderly couple pulled up to the register in their respective mart carts, having the wrong direction. No biggie; there wasn’t a line, yet, and what they wanted to purchase wouldn’t take long. Except it did. One of the plants was missing the UPC, so I had to look it up. The card reader also decided to act up on the gentleman’s debit card. So, a line forms. But the line forms in the wrong direction, because everyone realizes that two mart carts are difficult to reverse and impossible to turn around in the space they occupied. Still, no biggie. Until one lady appears going in the direction traffic is supposed to flow; she appeared immediately following my cashing out the customer that was behind the first couple. So the one going the normal directional flow takes it upon herself to verbally attack the lady that followed the couple for going the wrong direction.
I’ve got another story to tell about something else that happened not long after, but break is almost over. Hopefully I’ll remember to share it when lunch comes. It’s a repeating sort of story that frustrates me almost daily.
