Chatty kathy checkout people
This grocery trip may have been my worst ever as far as observing how crappy most people are in this world.
Pull into my spot and directly ahead of me a man pulls into two spots. Leaves his car running and gets out. I notice he has left what is probably a 5-6 year old boy in the front seat on a tablet.
Get into the store and they have a wine tasting event that they have decided right in front of the entryway on a day where it is -3 degrees and who knows what it was with the wind chill is the best place for it.
It is like a cart/person obstacle course.
I need to pick up a box of wine, an orange, and an apple to make mulled wine. This should be quick. Nope.
Some dude is in the aisle I need to get into taking pictures of labels and probably sending them to his girlfriend/wife/boyfriend/husband for approval. He of course has his cart on an angle and he is on the other side of the aisle than his cart.
I ask him to move. Nothing. I realize he has headphones in. So i basically have to scream to get this guy to move his cart.
No issues with the produce. Get in line. I am third. Two people ahead of me have 3-4 items each just like me. Should be fast. Nope. Checkout lady wants to talk about every item everybody is buying. Either giving a reco on it or asking if it is good. Tells some dumb long story about how she used to buy regular pasta, but now she buys gluten free pasta and the guy didnt even have pasta! He had a can of diced tomatoes with jalapenos. So maybe at least tell an applicable long winded story about how you only eat corn tortillas?
Finally its my turn. Oh great. Its my break time. Carla will be taking care of you. Ok great. Hi carla. I am not Carla, she is on her way. FML.
Leaving store and dude in front of me just takes his two bags out of his cart and literally leaves the cart right in the doorway. I actually let out a very loud "really, REALLY"
Finally in my car and as I am leaving the lot. There are two lanes to leave. One for left turns one for right turns. Left turn out of this parking lot takes forever. I need to turn right. Numbnuts in front of me in right turn lane isnt going anywhere. No blinker on. Just not moving. I am honking, nothing. He has his hands up in the air and is point across the road. Finally he puts his left blinker on. So not only do i have to wait for him to turn left, i actually have to also wait for the people turning left and in the proper lane to let him in, which probably isnt going to happen.
I just lay on my horn and stay on it since he has the option of turning right and then turning right back into the parking lot looping around and then getting into proper lane.
He finally turns right.
Its funny because typing this out it makes me realize how this is probably only like one extra negative experience compared to normal trip for everybody in here.
