You know what ruffles my feathers: annoying people at the store.
When I run to Wal-Mart to try to quickly get a single item, it never fails that all the lines are packed! I understand you all think your buggy full of junk is more important, but please do not go to the self check out. Seriously, if you have an entire shopping cart full, just go to a cashier. It will save you the hassle and save me time.
It is also my luck to have to watch as people try to figure out how to scan an item. I am no rocket scientist, but I think the bar code has to go over the scanner. I get the machines make you put the item in the bagging area, but is that really so hard? By the time a person has to come help you, I could have been at home already.
The last thing that just gets me is coupons. I know you all think you’re the thrifty shopper, but stop imitating “Extreme Couponing.” Nothing is more aggravating than hearing someone stop the line I am in because they need 20 different transactions to use all their coupons. Really? In all likelihood you can do it all in one transaction.Did you bother to ask? No. Instead, you’ve wasted my time, as well as the 10 others in the line behind me, because you think you are the only person in the universe.
So in the end, please think before acting. That may be hard for some of you, but it would seriously save a lot of people time and anger.Rule of thumb: if you hate it when people in front of you do it, more than likely you’re doing the same thing that makes those behind you angry, as well Just a thought.
