I can agree wiht that.

What do you do then? Become complacent and say nothing? IMO, if the rude
person gets away with it they will continue being rude. If people open
their mouths and voice their opinion, maybe the rude person will be
reluctant to pull the same stunt again.

If the customer in front of me is a frail 90 year old person and it takes he
a few minutes longer to get the money out, load the cart, I'll give them all
the time they needs. I'm willing to assist with heavy packages if needed.
But the 30 item person should wait like everyone else.
