Fucking grocery store ladies.

So, I have 15 minutes in my break, so I use those 15 to go run to Save-On (in the same mall as my work), ninja my way through to get my toothpaste, razor blades and cans of soup, get up to the tills with 5 minutes on my stopwatch (which gives me one minute after that to sign back in).

So I'm standing in the non-express line because there's about 10 people in the express line and 2 in the non. And one of the girls who's in line doesn't look like she has much.

Then this girl starts gabbing with this lady standing in the other line, and just judging from how they're standing there, the girl is the daughter and the woman is the mom. So she's line holding for her.

So I ask the girl "Are you getting anything? because it seems kind of unfair...."

I get that far, then the woman in the other line butts over (now that it's pretty clear this line is getting served before the other) to where her daughter was right in front of me, and starts gabbing "nope nope, it doesn't matter."

Sure it doesn't dumb ass bitch.

So now there's another cart of well over the 15 item limit in front of me. So I bolt over to the other line. Of course, the woman who butted in front of me gets served, and is being served when I look back at my watch and notice I've got now merely 2 minutes (1 by the watch) to sign back in.

So I say fuck it. Put my groceries, dart the bitch one bad look and leave.

Thanks. Sure you were in a hurry and everything, but I get in shit if I'm not signed back in in time.

My watch beeps as I'm running back to the call centre, manage to get back in my chair and hit "Ready" in time.

Fucking bitch. Butt right in front of me. Not unfair at all to the people who don't have kids with them. Sure, take up all the lines you self-serving skank. Nobody else has anywhere important to be or anything.

So I guess I have to feed on fucking Miss Vickie's and eatmore bars _all_ night now.

Meef.

Meef #2: What the fuck is the point of having 15 grocery lanes if only 2 are ever open at a time?

i work at superstore and i've been amazed at how little lanes safeway/save on has open

we have 25 tills and 22 of them are open when we're busy

^^
no doubt i've have realized that myself. even at london drugs i always notice that im waiting forever cause only 1 or 2 lanes are open. i have no problems with people waiting in a lane and their friend or daughter or whatever is in the next one to see which is faster, but when 1 of those lines is an express lane and they clearly are over the limit it pisses me off. like wtf and its not liek the cashier will be like oh ur over please go line up somewhere else. FUCKERS!

^i try, cause it pisses me off when i'm in line and i know it pisses other ppl off

especially when it's busy i try to keep an eye out for ppl like that and tell them it's an express lane

"i think i have a little over 12 items" - you have 25+, get out!
"i know i have more than 12 but you're not busy right now" - get out!
