The musings of an immigrant - Do I always choose the slowest line at the checkout, or what?

Do I always choose the slowest line at the checkout, or what?

I ran into the grocery store- literally- for a few items. For once, I had less than 20 so went to the "fast" checkout...NOT! The gentleman ahead of me had a cart loaded with cases of drinks- bottles of water and iced tea etc. Obviously he was counting each CASE as an item...but I digress. The cases wouldn't scan, so they (the checker and the gentleman in question) were removing one bottle, scanning it and then calculating the number of bottles in total...and if that were not bad enough, he then paid the checker for the $90 purchase IN SINGLES!!!!! And if I heard correctly, he works at the middle school in our district....and I homeschool why again???

Jan. 8, 2007 - Express lane

Posted by mom2two

My daily calendar the other day said, "You know who the people are that can't count to ten, they are always ahead of you in the express lane!"

It sure is frustrating when this happens, but you could always remember that God is protecting you from something if you got out of the store too early! :o)

Yvonne :o)

P.S. I pray that the rest of the time with your husband gone goes quickly!
