It makes me just want to throw everything into the bag, which I sometimes do.

I know these are small irritants, but irritants to me, none-the-less.

I agree with this. I always feel rushed to move out of the way as soon as I have my money. Another peeve is not having my cash counted back to me. That not only makes sure that I got the correct change back but also makes sure that they're not short in their drawer.

Something I've been doing lately is thanking the cashiers for checking the signature on my credit card. They are usually very apologetic about it but I let them know that I appreciate it because it's for my best interest.

OH! Me too - I always say thank you for checking my signature or matching me to the picture on my drivers license!!! I don't mind taking time for things that could save me a world of headache (someone other than me having my card).

They don't check anything here! I think it's because everyone pretty much knows each other. As a newcomer, they already know me.

I really do live in the boonies!

That's the way it is where I grew up and I can still go back and almost everyone knows me or I just say XXX is my brother (he still lives there) and I have instant credibility!

I so share the pain each of you have espressed. People are so intollerant these days. I try not to put too much pressure on the person ahead of me in line when they get to the register. I so hate people pressuring me. How much more time does it take anyway to put your change away. Also, in Europe it was so different. The cashier would get frustrated if you did not take the time to give them correct change if you had it. They would ask you, don't you have correct change? Here, hardly anyone wants you to give them the correct change, it takes tooo much of their precious time for you to get that 14 cents out of your change compartment. I've been making it a point to giving correct change whenever I can. I'm tired of my purse getting so heavy with all the change and having it stashed in bowls and jars at home.
