There are rarely lines up here. Now that it's warmer, weekenders are coming, so weekends are a bad time to go shopping. There was a mega annoying woman in front of me yesterday - something about doing a credit instead of a debit on her bank card to save $3.00. Not that I blame her, but the cashier was a young girl who really wasn't focusing on her. I don't blame the cashier either. The customer was way too hyper to pay attention to. This is rare up here. I usually grab one of the gossip magazines to see whether Brangelina are divorcing yet, or who is in rehab this week. I'm retired, so no more rushing.

In NYC though, I finally just took a stand and would not even move out of the way until I had my change, bills and receipt where I wanted them, my wallet back in my bag, and I was holding my car keys. I probably really annoyed a lot of people, but I agree with you. I hated being rushed off before I was all together. As soon as the receipt was in my hand, the cashier was ringing up the next person's stuff.

And, why did they insist on handing me my shopping bags before I even put the change away? That's when I became one of those rude women who held up the line.

Nobody used checks in NYC on the line. They did have to go to customer service for that.

I am so glad I live here!!!
