Christine, I did this terrible thing!!!! I can't believe I did this!!! I was in the grocery store getting milk and female things and since I only had a few items I got in the ten and under express line. But I had to use my credit card which is SUPPOSED to be ok---except that when I swiped it, the girl said, "Oh my machine is broken." I said, "I don't have enough cash." She said, "That's ok, I'll use the register next to us." So she goes over to the next register. This woman a couple of customers back starts saying in this loud, "I want to make sure everyone hears me especially that selfish one in front who's holding us up" voice,
"This is supposed to be an express line---but some people think that means they can do what they want-and the rest of us have to stand around and wait."
I look at this woman--she is very large and has bleached hair, and gross shorts and a t-shirt that has a beer stein and the words-Help, I've fallen and I can't drink my beer" on it, and I think-"Yeah-you look like you have important places to go and people to meet." But I say, because I am a very polite and nice person, but mostly because she's so big and I'm not, "I'm very sorry, but the machine isn't working."
And the cashier comes back and I sign the slip and this woman says something about "It's about time", and I look up and smile at her and say in my most elegant, sweetest voice,
"Bitch."
And walk out.
Then I rush to my car and lock the doors and get out of there fast. |
