I have been here, and hate wally world. Your writing makes me laugh. I get so angry in Wally World. My least favorite place is Costco, or Sam's Club type stores. I love your amazing race analogy. My hubby and I get so irritated with people too.
I think people should get retested for their drivers license every 4 years too! Ridiculous. I live near Chicago, and everyone drives pretty considerately! As soon as we cross over into Wisconsin UGG! People stay in the passing lane on the interstate and just stay there, even if they are right next to another car in the driving lane. And if you signal that you need to get over, people speed up so you cannot get into THEIR lane! And the closer it gets to Christmas the worse it gets!

I have a similar experience of a woman in front of me who was at least creative. She split her near 30 items up into two seperate orders. Still annoying.
Anyway, glad you said something. But it's funny how so many areas in the world today set up rules, but don't hold anybody accountable to adhear to those rules. They "aren't allowed" to say anything to these people? What's the point in the rule? Frustrating.
Wish there were other options than WalMart and that customer service was a priority.

I have actually had a full and started to head to the correct check out and been called over to a vacant 15 items or less. I will state I have a full basket here and they will insist that I come there for check~out. Now, I get agitated if I have a couple items and get behind someone with many items and have to wait. Inevitably someone with one or two items will come behind me and have to wait. What's a girl to do when they are so persistent???

I could rant all day long and then some about Wally World but in a one horse town it's pretty much it. They have closed down all the Mom and Pop stores because they can't compete with the prices.

Have a great day filled with blessings and short lines!!!

Okay, I won't get on my soapbox because everyone knows how I feel about Walmart.
I will say society has this "me first" mentality. I see it in everyday life and on television. Check out those reality shows. Its shocking and sadly, is excepted. Everyday I say to myself it can't get any worse and every day it does. :> (

Hi Susan
loved your story on the 15 items line . We have those here and exactly the same things happens, especialy when I only have a short time left to get out to catch a bus and so it goes on. Was there this week and thought I had enough time BUT you get to the counter and in front of you the checkouts til dont work or they have to set it up again or the persons card dont work and they fiddle around looking for one that does.
That spoilt what I thought was plenty pf time, so I know what you mean. Still you do meet some nice people in the line waiting with the same thoughts as you , so its very social there too LOL.
BTW I missed that bus, Groan!!!!

Love
Elizabeth
