So there I was standing in the checkout line. The clerk had rung up my handful of items and I gave her the check I had written. As she was waiting for the cash register to print out my receipt something happened that is entirely outside my experience as a shopper. The woman next in line behind me walked AROUND me and swiped her credit card through the machine and began to enter her pass code ! I could not believe it. This woman could not wait five more seconds for me to finish my transaction. And get this. . .I had to say ‘Excuse me’, to get her to move over so I could get out of the check out stall ! Oh, I know in the grand scheme of things this is not that important, but BOY did it make me angry ! I was so flabbergasted by this astonishing display of rudeness I could not speak more than those two words. Besides that I didn’t want to pick a fight. She was three times my size.
I have been trying to figure out what was going on in this woman’s head that made this bit of behavior acceptable in her estimation. I admit I am having brain paralysis on this one. Perhaps it’s the steam coming out of my ears that’s keeping me from thinking clearly.
Any suggestions ???
What do you think this woman was THINKING ?
