What is it with some people at the checkout? I was going to say women, but I've seen men do this too. Your in line, everything ready, check is partially filled in or cash is ready. The person in front has to take out their check book AFTER the items are totaled and then start to write. All this AFTER standing there in line for 5 minutes. Or what may be worse is that person that has to dig for the exact change (usually .99 cents) in fifty different places while that dollar bill lies idle in the pocket book.
I save over $500 a year in change. I hate the stuff in my pocket so when I get home it goes into a change bottle. It buys my wife a very nice Anniversary Present every year. Sorry I just had to rant. I just got back from grocery store hell.

The express line felons piss me off; you know, the ones that can't count to 15. The best ones, however, are the people who have forgotten something and beg your pardon as they charge by you, promising to be back in a minute, then return five minutes later with five more items!

Yeah, and it always happens when you are in a rush. How about the people who wait until everything is rung up before they start searching for their credit card. At Safeway, you can swipe all your cards as soon as the cashier reads the first item but you always get those people who wait -- maybe by waiting their bill will be less!!

What I hate are those items that don't ring up correctly, so they have to do a price check, and it happens repeatedly!
or those people that push one of those shopping carts in the vicinity of your car! GRRR!!! I just wanna rip their heads off!!!! oops...sorry...It's Friday
