Three’s A Crowd: Literally

I have an opening cashier shift. As it’s early, it isn’t too busy, so I am by myself up front. About twenty minutes after the store opens, I have two people in my line. The second is a woman who is probably about sixty.

Older Woman: “This is such a long wait!”

Heaven forbid she should wait one minute for me to finish up the person in front of her.

Older Woman: “Open another register!”

I call a coworker who has been putting stock away.

Older Woman: “We come early so that we don’t have to deal with the crowds!”
