It's probably not the friendliest thing to say to someone but, some people just are.

I was in line at Trader Joes (a small grocery chain in Ca.) waiting for the woman who was checking out in front of me to get back into cue so the cashier can finish ringing her up. She forgot her coffee grounds so we all had to wait whilst she walked back to the coffee machine and weighed out her java.  Fine, I can deal with that.  But then...she pulls out her debit card only to tell the cashier after only 5 minutes of watching her try various ways to get the card to swipe,(a plastic bag, paper, blowing on the terminal)"This always happens here at Trader Joes, nowhere else."

Okay what?  So you know your card phucks up and still you give it to the cashier anyway?  THEN after watching her impatiently try to charge the card you let her know that you actually were aware of it the whole time?  Do you have nothing better to do with your time?  I do.  And I'm sure the 10 people tapping their toes behind me do too. 

So despense with the niceties, the laughs and check the phuck out please.  Old people too.  Fill out your bank slips before you get to the line, and don't go out during the hours of 1130am and 2pm. Most of us monkeys have about 55 minutes for lunch.  So stay off the roads and out of lines.  Sure, one day we'll figure it all out and realize how stupid we are for rushing around all the time, but let us figure it out on our own.
