There was a shortage of baggers so most customers were bagging their own as it was scanned.<br /><br />Not this guy! He stood there the entire time, hands in his pockets, watching her scan his items. Then proceeded to tell her exactly how he Call Me Catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15144735845209334875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2831868659745521950.post-14932006971465477442009-07-03T17:13:55.584-04:002009-07-03T17:13:55.584-04:00That's crazy.

Those people practically threw your food across the belt. I finally complained and that's when I was told they were being timed. <br /><br />Something's wrong with that picture.<br /><br />Your poor cashier sounds like a pathetic bore.
