(laugh) You're evil. I like that.

Just a few weeks ago something happened, strangely enough
in the About 10 Items or Fewer line I mentioned earlier.

I got on line and the woman in front of me became a little
flustered. Seems she had too many items for that line.
She said would you like to go in front of me? I have too
many items. Verbatim, I said No, stay, I'm not in a hurry.

Suddenly this hostile cashier hissed at me, I can take you
over here. Uh ... okay. She says You know, Line 10 is
open. That's great. Was there a survey of what lines
were open and I failed the test? All I can think is that she
heard enough of the conversation with the too-many-items
lady to think I'd been giving her a hard time. Because this
cashier was ****ed off at me.
