so annoying!!
well, normally i won't complain about the local supermarkets very much. but of course, since i'm writing this, i am going to complain.
most of my rant is probably the result of me being annoyed because i've been allergy-ridden since sunday and i'm tired, coughing, not sleeping, etc.
so, i left work last night and headed to safeway to get some apples, yogurt, orange juice, and cough drops. i got all of the items i needed in a nice timely manner and was looking forward to getting home to go to bed. the lines were long, but a cashier came and opened up a new register - i was second in line (score!). i was behind these two ladies who weren't buying much, but i kept my distance from them because they reeked of cigarettes and alcohol. yay, a bonus. they took FOREVER and the cashier was just all smiley with them and never apologized for taking so long (it's a long story, but he took forever, too). if i didn't have all my stuff on the "counter" and someone behind me, i would have packed up all my stuff to move to another register. after at least 5 minutes, i'm sitting on the floor in line and they finally leave. he thanks them for their patience and just says "hi" to me. he scans all my stuff, then holds my safeway card over the scanner. he looks at me, waits, (all i want to do is get home) and waits some more. i ask him if there's a problem, he asks me if i want to guess how much my total will decrease once he scans the card. arrrrrgh!
it was very, very annoying. very. grrrrrr.
