I'm talking you those people that by some miracle can take upwards of 15 minutes at a "self checkout" either in a grocery store or a Wallmart ect. I was just in line at a Walmart and a guy took eight minutes to pay for toothpaste! One item! If it takes you over a tenth of an hour to pay for toothpaste then please for the love of all that is good...GO TO A CASHIER!! Also while we are on the subject… listen up you "cashier goers" ...same question, how on earth can a business transaction between two people take so long? After my last item has been scanned it literally takes me less than 30 seconds to pay. She swipes my card and gives me a receipt...it’s so simple. Yet people manage for this process of to take upwards of 5 minutes. And god help us the old lady buying birdseed has a coupon...your day is shot!! I remember once there was a lady who gave the cashier a coupon, and it wouldn't scan. They had to call a manager over, which took another couple minutes because he was at the other end of the store. The real kicker is that it saved her a grand total of .35 cents on a bag of grapes. My time standing in that line is worth more than .35 cents.

Lol... been there. I hate when people know they are going to write a check, but they wait until the order is completely rung up to start looking for their checkbook in their purses. I guess not everyone has somewhere better to go, lol. =o)
