Because they're too busy eating slugs?
Someone has to.
They do with the pretty cashiers at the Whole Foods!
Oh yeeeeeah. You may have won this round, but I'll be back after I eat a few slugs to get my strength up.
The money was too good. I got stupid.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Also, no purses to lose things in.
That. I'll bet that's a huge component.

The only time I've been stuck behind someone flirting in a checkout line, the flirter was a girl who may not have noticed the cashier's wedding ring or realized he was married. Though admittedly, in my area of the country pretty women likely to be flirted with don't seem to choose retail jobs where lines of customers are the norm.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola
I'm reading The Equation that Couldn't Be Solved. It's great, except when the author tries to spice things up a little. It's like a really smart guy who tells lame jokes. You want to say, "You don't have to try so hard! I was interested!" Plus he keeps writing things like, "This was to foreshadow the further tragedy to come," and like, I know the guys die depressing deaths, but you don't need to make it even grimmer!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
My problem with Other People shopping is people who go to the self checkout who really shouldn't be allowed to check themselves out.
My sistah! I have actually gone up to people and DONE IT for them , because they were all "Oh, dear, how does...hmm....do i...nope, let's try to..." and I am standing there with some soy sauce and cat food, and frothing with impatience.
I have seen someone slide a $20 through the debit card slidey-thing. AT that point I just walked away to the express lane.

Dude, that tag never closes.
I've been corrected twice today. It's like I'm sloppy or something.

Heh. I was going to say! I get flirted with a lot. The other day I had a guy in my line who was telling me some story about when he was in school, and how his teacher was so mean to him, and then he said he guessed he deserved it, but at least he wasn't having sex in the empty rooms.

Thanks for sharing?
