Self-Check Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself, Part 14
I was standing in line at the self-checkout. Another customer is pacing behind me, being loud about how slow things are. This ranting is constant the entire time I am in line. I look at them, and they only had a few items, whereas I have about twenty, so when it’s my turn:
Me: “Would you like to go ahead of me? I have a lot of items and might be slower.”
Customer: “So you feel sorry for me?! You have to let me go ahead of you? You don’t think I can wait?!”
Me: “Well, you seemed to be under the impression that if you didn’t verbally shout about how long the line was, we might all forget, so yes, I don’t think you can wait.”
Customer: “Hmph!” *Pointing at the self-checkout assistant.* “It’s all her fault, anyway!”
Self-Checkout Assistant: “Mate, this lovely customer just said they would be willing to stand in line even longer if it meant you shutting up for a minute. Take the bloody hint… and shut up.”
He took the bloody hint.
