'Shindig'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I can't decide if check writers annoy me more, or people who decided to use a bonus card, coupons AND and atm/debit/credit card AND ARE ABSOLUTELY BEFUDDLED BY THE TECH.
Yes, I know those stupid readers vary from store to store, but.....staring at it hard will not swipe the card for you.
I lived in NYC long enough that I scream invective in my head at people who wait until they get to the cashier to pull out their wallet at fast food joints.
"What, is it a surprise EVERY TIME that you have to pay for your food? They told you how much it was when you ordered, you didn't think you might actually, oh, open your purse and get your money ready at that time instead of standing there?"

I see that on the train all the time. The conductor showes up and suddenly they're hunting for their wallets in their purses or whatever, then trying to count out the money.
Actually, that costs the train line money, as they often don't get to everyone on the train so some get to ride for free.
Do you have to be home to receive delivery?
Yeah, but they've got delivery times up to 10 pm. (And DH works from home.)
Actually, most of the time, I'm really laid back about other people's antics. I do get annoyed with the store when they only have 2 cashiers and very long lines, but that's just a low level irritant. Except this past weekend when I needed to get home to shoot the cat and ended up in line for 40 minutes and I was DETERMINED to not have to go out again because I was in a Very Bad Mood. Otherwise, I'll cut my losses and leave.
Ooh, hey. Speaking of grocery stores... [link]
FTR, I was in the under-20 express lane when things got interesting.
IN line for 40 minutes? Jesus Christ, if I was in line for 40 minutes, I'd walk outta that store with free fucking food.
The weirdest thing I saw was when a guy who was three people back behind me suddenly demanded that he be allowed to the front of the line because he "was in a hurry."
Luckily I had just finished my purchase. Or maybe unluckily, as I'd love to been able to say, "I'm in a hurry too, and I've already waited for my turn."

Ooh, cool! I missed that fire....
brenda, that's... oops?
