Sounds like the bitch that was in front of me at the grocery store a couple of years ago. She was going to have the cashier re-ring a cart full of food over a $0.04 descrepency. The argument had gone on between them for what seemed like hours and as the old broad asked for the manager I finally blurted out "if I give you a dime will you just get out of our way?". I felt kinda bad about that for a little while, then I figured screw her, she was jacking up the lives of God knows how many other people (the line was huge) over four damned cents. If she'd had the decency to get out of the way, take her cart and receipt up to customer service like the cashier asked, it wouldn't have come to that.
Sounds like yours was begging for it, too. I'll respect my elders until they act like buttheads. Then they get the same treatment any other moron gets. |

Are you sure it wasn't Skip? It might have been Skip.
It's always a bit surprising when someone is openly hostile, but at least you know where they stand. The ones to be scared of are the ones who just stare at you and then go key your car in the parking lot.

Heh. They have those self-checkout deals at the grocery store we frequent. I've noticed that the protocol is that you don't go up to the next machine is fully vacated by the person checking out.
A few months ago, I was checking out (just a few items) and I noticed this person behind me. I turned around and looked at it (now identified as him). I nodded at him and began to intentionally scan the wrong side of the items. He got rather irritated and actually grabbed me by the shoulder and said, "Can you hurry up!?" It was rather amusing.

My other annoyance is when the person in line behind me leaves their cart and stands next to me while my cart is being checked out. Keep your distance, people. Just stay away from me at all times, grocery store or not.

Were you in Philadelphia? It is a well-known fact that all citizens of Philly hate each other and everyone else in the world, too.
