Checking Out

Arrrrgggghhhhh.

=SCREEDINESS ALERT=

First of all, if you are in the 15 items or less lane, you better have 15 items or less. If you blew it, got in the wrong lane, and already have 6 months of victuals on the conveyor, offer to move them, offer to change lanes, be gracious and apologetic and just maybe the clerk will ring your items anyway - but be johnny-on-the-spot with the payment. Also, just maybe, the people in line behind you won't jump you in the parking lot and beat you about the head and shoulders with your Rhubarb stalks.

THAT BEING SAID.

If you have a small handful of items, don't stand behind me in the regular checkout line huffing and sighing and eye-rolling because I haven't offered to let you jump the cue ahead of me. YOU ALREADY HAVE YOUR OWN FRIGGING 15 ITEMS OR LESS LANE FOR FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT???!!

If you and your bud-light & bag-o-salty-snacks crowd have bum-rushed the 15 items or less lane so that the line is backed up to the meat counter, it is not my problem.
