I use coupons and they’re always ready to go. I plop them down for the cashier as she’s ringing up my order.
What really ticks me off is the people who wait until the entire order is rung up and they see the amount to BEGIN to fill out their check in the check book. If you want to pay by check, fine, have it ready except for the number (surely you know what store you’re in) and DON’T USE THE EXPRESS CASH ONLY LANE. ARGH!
"There I was, minding my own business sniffing the paint to see if it was fresh and BAM she gigs me with the cart. "
Yes.
Scary.
My own pet peeve is waiting in line behind people playing the lottery. They should have a special “morons only” line for the lottery players IMNSHO.
There’s still no cause to knock over an old lady. When I’m behind one, I give them the benefit of the doubt using computery type gadgets; it’s just beyond what many old folks can deal with. Even I have trouble figuring some of them out. Every store has to have a different kind of credit/debit card machine that operates just a little different that the others.
I really wish there’s be some standardization on those things; it WOULD speed up the procedure.
Good grief, they even gave a “zoom” option on that picture! Who the hell would want to get a closeup of that thing?
BTW, I feel your pain. We used to live in a welfare community. grrrrrrrr.......
Who wins, now?
LMAO
I like to see people using coupons. My pet peeve are those people who wait until all the groceries are totalled and bagged and THEN it dawns on them that they have to pay for them. So they start fumbling through their purse looking for their checkbook and then spend ten minutes s-l-o-w-l-y filling out the check.
I never write checks anymore since the advent of debit cards, but back in the olden days when I did write checks, I always made sure I had the date, the name of the store and my signature filled in while I was waiting so all I had to do was write in the total.
I guess that makes too much sense.
I was’nt in a hypnotic stare! I was trying to figure out the per ounce price differences on the peanut butter! Now get off my back before I block you on the soda aisle too.
I'd say it's a draw.
He should be shot.
“Whose brain was it?”
“Oh, I don’t know — Abbie Somebody.”
“Abbie Somebody?”
“Abbie............. Normal.”
I’m guessing he was buying a lot of cold medicine and oven cleaner.
There is a distinctive look about the, ah, “homebrewers,” no?
how about the nitwits who have debit cards and seemingly don’t know how to use them?or the a##holes who are on an express line with 42 items?and why does nobody ever use cash anymore?i don’t have a debit card-i am not anti-technology,i just don’t think i need every gadget that comes out-i have a cell phone,but it does all these other things i don’t need,so i’ve never learned how to do them-customized ringtones?what crap-and it’s worldwide-nowadays you have people who can run their lives from a phone and don’t know how a single action automatic functions :))- a friend of mine is a state trooper and i showed him one of my 1911’s and he said “what’s that?”pointing to the grip safety.and this is a sharp kid who does a real good job-modern times are just great
...the moron who invented the little kiddie shopping carts...
He should be shot.
******
Starting with a knee-capping...then 50 kids with little shopping carts running over him.
Hard to top the pic of the perv from NH.... ;-)
