Is NOBODY wrong in the post ? POST : In today's world no one seems to ever wanna slow down and take a minute to ensure the task is thoroughly complete before shoving you out of the way for the next person. This can be witnessed at the checkout line, the post office line, the lunch lines in school, DMV lines, practically anywhere there is a line of people waiting. I get that technology is changing the way things are done and helps speed up the world in many useful ways. However, when I'm standing in line and I have to take my wallet out of my purse to pay for an item and I have to wait for my bags to be filled and the cashier to hand me my change ( or my receipt if I paid with credit), and I have to put the receipt away and my card or change back in my purse, I do not move out of the way until everything is fine. That's not too say I take my time doing so, I just don't move out of the way the minute they start ringing up the next person if all my stuff isn't put in my wallet and my cart, until it is. I always turn to the next person in line and apologize.
However, this particular time the words of frustration escaped me before I could stop them. The scenario is the same, I'm putting my stuff away and the cashier starts ringing up the next person when the cashier turns to me and says, "excuse me, would you mind moving somewhere else to do that (by that he meant put my credit card away) so I can finish ringing up the next person?" I just looked at him and said, "I'm sorry sir, I'll just be a minute." and turned to the lady behind me and said, "I'm sorry ma'am, I'll be on my way in just a sec, sorry for the inconvenience." She seemed fine with it and said no problem at all, the clerk, however, seemed rather annoyed and couldn't control it. As I was walking away he said to the last that was behind me," I'm sorry ma'am, some people are just so inconsiderate of others!" I wanted to, and I almost did, but just like the clerk, I couldn't control it so I turned to him and said, "do yourself and everyone else a favor. Go buy yourself a pocket dictionary and pull it out before you use words with more than 4 letters. You sir, are the epitome of inconsiderate!!!" I wished I could have basked in a glorious moment, but as soon as I said it, I felt bad for doing so.
