Not Even In Line And Out Of Line, Part 9

I am at a retail pharmacy with a photo center. The photo center is up front by the registers, and the line goes along the photo center as it’s rarely used. I am in line with just toilet paper, and it should be noted I really need it, like now, but I have to wait in a long line.

As I am waiting, someone comes up to the photo center to collect their photos. They also only have one item in their hands, a shampoo. I take a tiny step back to give them space to step up to the photo center as the worker is handing them over a small half wall. They then spin around in front of me, clearly cutting me and everyone behind me. At first, all I could do was make a frustrated “fuh” sound, which was merely the first half of a swear word I didn’t finish.

Photo Worker: “Ma’am, there’s a line you just cut in front of this lady.”

Line Cutter: “Huh? Oh.”

She looks at me, holding up her shampoo, shaking it slightly.

Line Cutter: “I only have the one thing; the photos are prepaid.”

Me: “And I only have one thing, and since it’s for POO and not shampoo and I was here first I think that means I get to go before you, hopefully before I need my one item.”

I shake my toilet paper package in the same way she shook her shampoo. I then look back at the photo worker who has their hand over their mouth.

Me: “You called me a lady, but I don’t have to act like one.”

The worker let out one hard laugh and walked away. I made it home in time.
