I was overjoyed when my grocery store installed self-checkouts. Now I can get food without ever interacting with another human being!
We're still working on a plan, but so far it involves being sent to prison and becoming somebody's bitch.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Now if only my fellow shoppers would learn how to fucking USE THEM, I'd be golden.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
You'll never fit in at the Beeb with that attitude. Hey, is it noon yet? Let's leave early and go to the pub!
Looks like I picked the wrong career to quit drinkin'.
Start up again if you get a job with the Beeb!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Just give me the money and John Barrowman! What the fuck is the matter with you?!
I think MM was eavesdropping on my brain today. Or, you know, most days.

On the other hand I like chatting with the people at Trader Joe's because they seem genuinely interested in whether I found everything and how my day is going.

I know! How are people so ... inept? And why do they seem determined to get in my way?
I feel airports should really be broken down into Traveler Types. I don't care if someone needs a lot of assistance and coddling, I don't. Just get out of my damn way. Give me self-serve kiosks and security lines where everyone knows the drill. Oh, and free wireless. But that's not really part of this point.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I've not much had that experience in checkouts and I've lived my whole life in the south. In fact, the only time I really can say it's happened is when it's a local rural store or neighborhood store, and then it's just catching up with neighbors.
Also, this. I mean, when I go to my local hardware store they have the same cashiers as when I was a carpenter over a decade ago, and they remember me. Which I think is very cool. And sometimes the cashiers at my coop will compliment something I'm wearing or something. And I've been known to get into conversations at the vintage store, or have a funny exchange at a coffee shop. But convenience or big box stores, nsm.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

They are! Kinda. Haven't you seen the three lines that are like "Expert Traveler," "Regular Traveler," "Stupid Fucking N00b Traveler," or whatever?

Punishingly Intricate

Midway is. It sort of works sometimes. Once, though, I was in the Expert Traveler line in back of a SUPER drunk guy who stopped in the line to try to put his cowboy boots back on. hilarious but also irritating because it took so freaking long.

I've seen the signs. I've never seen anyone admit that they aren't expert. Because they think that the expert line will be *faster* for them. And, no, it won't. Because THEY are now in it.
