I don't know.
I'm sure I'd have been just as annoyed as you were, had I been behind them.
But I've also done stuff like that. Not on such a busy day when everyone is
trying to get in and out of the store, like a pre "the end of the world is
coming in the form of snow!" day.

I'm just saying....this is the sort of thing that one might do themselves,
and might not see anything wrong with it, but when you are behind the one
doing it, are very annoyed by it. Just to consider both sides.

Personally I think that sucks, big time. If you'd have seen a full cart
you probably would have gone to a different line. But were you given
that option? Nnnnooooooooooooooooooooooo. Inconsiderate assholes as far
as I'm concerned, and I would have told them so in no uncertain terms.
Not that they would have cared. So many people are all about "me, me, me
and the hell with everyone else" that it's really sad.

Ever wonder about those people who spend $2.00 apiece on those little
bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backwards...

Yep...they are inconsiderate jerks. I put them in the same category as the
pigs who will go through produce, say broccoli or portabellas, and take off
the stems, then go get their items weighed (and in this case the pigs are
not wasting our time, but they are driving prices up for everybody, it's the
same as stealing)...

For the longest time the Shaw's would sell whole broccoli and crowns for
the same price per pound. Now there's a twenty cent difference.

Nope, I would never do that.
