So today the kid asks me if I want to go to a pretty cool hardware store in Boulder, CO today, McGuckins. It's been a while so sure, I'll tag along. We wander around, I pick up a new pocket flashlight and some jigsaw blades. I go to the checkout lanes which there are 4 of. Two are stacked about 4 deep and the other two only have a couple people waiting. I go to get in one of the shorter lines and there is a lady standing right between the two shorter lines with a shopping cart, 60 something years old and I swear she looked just like "Ladyfish" from "The Incredible Mr Limpet".
I ask her: "Which line are you in?" She replies: "I'm "Queing", I'm waiting to see which line goes fastest and then going in that one." WTF? I walked to a line, moving her cart slightly as I walk past her. She had this incredulous look on her face then sneered at me, I told her: "Well there now, your choice has been made for you." She snaps: "Excuse me, that was very rude!" I told her: "Not nearly as rude as you demanding to tie up both lines so you can get your choice, Princess". She snaps again: "Well I should get the manager!" "Go get whoever the fuck you want bitch, and take this as your "que" to leave me the fuck alone." At this time it's my turn to pay, I do so and the gal cashing me out tells me very quietly "Good for you, she is a pain and treats everybody like trash." The bitch is glaring at me, she is still waiting to pay, LOL. Just then I "accidentally" dropped some change and when I bent over to pick it up I did it in such a way my ass was square at her, I know my shirt rode up a enough to print and I patted my ass in a "Kiss it right here" fashion. The bitch was nearly in tears. I know, CSB Fun in Boulder I despise people who feel the rest of the world should wait on them so they get their way |

Should have held up your receipt and ask her if she had hers yet.

A 60 year old woman that frequents a hardware store enough to be a known pain in the ass to the staff. Must be the weed?
|
|
You sure showed her
Sounds like you were the triggered one Liberal Op felt entitled to go ahead of some poor old lady |
|
No matter how rude someone is, cussing them out brings you down to their level.
|
|
Rude I definitely see, where does the "liberal" part come in?
Of course, the two often run together, but.... |
|
You are the man
No really good work Liberal tears are great for washing your nut sack. |

I hate this "queuing" bullshit that goes on in stores.
Just pick a line and be done with it. |
|
This is why you never try to do anything logical in America.
Instead of optimizing the line and creating a single line where possible, someone will come along and push you out of the way, cuss you out, then brag about "triggering" you. Because when you act like a cunt, you are "triggering" someone. |

Good for you, give the microaggression crowd a taste of the real thing
|
|
Yea, I don't know that I'd be too proud of that one.
Say 20 Hail Marys and 10 Our Fathers and we'll forget you were needlessly rude to some random person. |

You should have just gone around her and realized older women can be odd. |

I don't want to trigger you with math, which can be challenging and difficult and is also for faggots and libruhls, but here's a nice little read for you. |

View Quote I personally love the stores that have a "que" and next in line gets the next available cashier. Nothing worse than being in a line and then having the cashier call for help, then some associate has to run around and do a price check, then the customer wants to pay by check, then they have to find their driver's license for said check. Meanwhile all the lines around you processed 5 customers while you're waiting....Academy Sports is awful for that shit. |

I will say, screwing with the liberal idiots in that city was some of my better college experiences.
|
|
Sounds like she triggered a conservative too
I'm surprised there wasn't breaking news about this mass triggering being perpetrated by an active triggerer! |

View Quote I was at Walmart and I had a weird old woman follow me to the register and berate me for moving her cart. She was blocking the entire aisle with it (narrow aisle with a center display). I came up to it, did a quick look around, saw no one and moved it like 4 feet out of the way. The weird woman confronts me at the register, giving me grief about moving her cart so she couldn't find it. I said that if you weren't blocking the entire aisle like a dumbass, then I wouldn't have had to move it so I could get through. Instant huffy and puffy, walked off muttering. The cashier had this look of like "oh wow", and I said that we'd probably have a lot less stupidity in the world if people were called out on it more often. People are too afraid to speak up these days... |

Lucky you didn't bring on the vapors.
Some stores support queuing but screw it if it's just some customer's attempt at fairness. |
|
Sounds like a classy story from all angles. Still trying to figure out how it ties into TEH LIBRULS!
|
|
Good job.
And nothing wrong with queing or whatever the hell it's called as long as it takes less than 2-3 seconds. If you can't choose a line in that amount of time, you just need to move out of the way. |
|
You took a big chance, OP. What if there had been a price check in front of you?
|
|
Sorry OP but you're wrong. Feeding two registers from a single line is faster. Queuing like that is what people should do.
|
|
I really wish OP had chosen the line where the person wanted to dispute the price of something. Then after someone went to verify the price, they would realize that they left there debit card in the car. After they send one of their kids to get the card, the card gets rejected because they don't have enough money in their account to pay for all the crap they wanted to buy. So then he would have had to wait for them to decide what they didn't need.
Checkout lines don't move at the same speed and getting stuck in a slow lane jacks up my blood pressure to 300 over 200. |
