Not Even In Line And Out Of Line, Part 5

At The Checkout, Convenience Store, Current Events, Jerk, Mississippi, USA | Right | January 28, 2022

I am in line at a convenience store. There is one register open. I am the second person in line with three other people behind me. We are all socially distancing, so the line stretches a bit. A second cashier makes her way to another register and is obviously preparing to open up to help with the line.

Cashier: “I’m open now.”

All of a sudden, a man appears out of nowhere and walks over to the second cashier with his items. I do not have a chance to react. I look on without saying a word, too shocked to figure out what to say.

Customer In Line: “Dude, there’s a line here. You’re not next. That lady up there should be next.”

Rude Customer: “Whatever. I only have a few things.”

Me: *Regaining my thought* “This is a convenience store. Everybody only has a few things. That was rude to do that.”

The rude customer paid for his things and left while the rest of us looked on in disbelief.
