Dear Lady in the Supermarket 30 minutes ago....
I know you probably considered your grocery cart of 48 items slightly unacceptable for the EXPRESS LANE 12 ITEMS OR LESS, but splitting your 48 items into 2 orders of 24 did not make it any MORE acceptable. It actually took MORE time because you had to PAY TWICE!!!! You should have just let me, the girl with the one frozen burrito, go ahead of you.
Next time, just get on the regular line.
Thank You.

Re: Dear Lady in the Supermarket 30 minutes ago....
OMG I HATE that. Why don't the cashiers ever say anything? The other day we were in walmart on the "express" line and some lady had a cart FULL of stuff. The stupid cashier was ringing her up no questions asked. I went over to her and started saying - thats more than 12 items, this is an EXPRESS line - everyone ignored me and DH chastised me because I was embarassing him.

That's so annoying, but the cashier should have said something.

Re: Dear Lady in the Supermarket 30 minutes ago....
I would have added a 49th item to her
cart by throwing her my burrito!

I was at a store once when the cashier DID say something and the guy FLIPPED OUT... he was so mean to her "I see people do this all the time! How DARE you call me out on this!! Call your manager because I want to tell him what an idiot you are!"
It was horrifying!

Re: Dear Lady in the Supermarket 30 minutes ago....
I have to say I NEVER go on the Express line until I have the 12 or less. And if I get up there, and I count 14 as I am loading onto the belt - I pack my bags soooo fast so that no one notices! ha ha but I would NEVER go on that line with anymore than that!!!

Re: Dear Lady in the Supermarket 30 minutes ago....
That is one my pet peeves when I go to the grocery store. The cashier should have said something to the lady or the least that the lady infront of you should have done was ask you is you would have liked to go ahead of her since you only had one item.

I would have had my manager come out and tell him what an idiot HE was.
That guy's sense of entitlement is out of control! Just because other people do it, does not make it RIGHT

Re: Dear Lady in the Supermarket 30 minutes ago....
this is my #1 pet peeve
I actually got into a fight with 2 "ladies" at Wal-Mart last week
they had about 50 items
and were taking for ever in the 12 item or less self check out
myself and the lady behind me were talking about how rude it was
when they started yelling at us
she asked me if I was Stupid
I told her No, I am smart- I can count to 12
and I post the rest of what she said to me-
one or 2 items over - what ever- but 50! that's is beyond rude!

Re: Dear Lady in the Supermarket 30 minutes ago....
oh- and I actually had in idea- that they should set the machine to sound an alarm when the 13th item is scanned
and not let them ring up anymore! that would teach people!

Re: Dear Lady in the Supermarket 30 minutes ago....
In the supermarket last week, I was waiting on line and the manager came over to me and told me to go to the 12 items or less checkout because no one was there so I did with my basket full of groceries...The lady who ended up coming up behind me was probably furious but I was told to go over there!

Re: Dear Lady in the Supermarket 30 minutes ago....
I was a cashier for six years. . .if I saw that they had too many items I would tell them to get off the line. But sometimes, I wouldn't notice until ALL the items were up then it would take just as long to put them back in the wagon so I would just inform them that NEXT time, this was for 10 or less.
However, I have to say that I have told people to get off my line and been spit at, cursed at, had stuff thrown at me, been told that I was going to die, been told that someone was going to kill me, been told that I would work there forever. . .
But yeah, I HATE when I see that to this day!!!

Re: Dear Lady in the Supermarket 30 minutes ago....
i always say something. embarasses the crap out of DH.
a few items, fine, but 20..??
I start by informing everyone else on the line about the person who is over the limit and how inconsiderate it is.
I talk loudly about it and I won't stop..
sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
people have no balls.

I had a woman throw a boxed apple pie at me once when I was a cashier!!!!
I'm completely serious...right at my head but I used my elbow to deflect it from hitting me in the face!

Re: Dear Lady in the Supermarket 30 minutes ago....
That is so frustrating!
I will never forget when I worked in the pharmacy at Genovese. We weren't supposed to ring anyone up besides people getting Rx's....well one of my friend's mothers came up and dumped literally - I am not kidding - $400 dollars worth of stuff on my counter...just dumped it. She totally took advantage of knowing me and avoiding the regular line. It was so awkward and I didn't know what to do.
And I got in trouble!

well yes, but that's not half as fun and it's more fun to make a scene and make the person feel paranoid. why not have a little drama?
