Another great line many ask is "Did you find everything you were looking
for?"

Half the time I haven't, and since they asked, I'll tell them. "No, you're
apparently out of Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper, but I couldn't find a
stock person to even check for me." "Oh." is the usual response. What's
the point of asking if they never do anything about it anyway.

I also enjoy watching the cashiers do a leisure stroll to do a price check
when there's twenty people behind me in a line.

Aw, hell, I also love it when you're standing five-deep at one of the four
of twenty lanes that are actually open, and a new one opens up, and instead
of the new cashier guiding one of the people who've been waiting in line for
fifteen minutes to their new opened lane, it's a free-for-all, and the guy
who JUST got in the back of our line gets to be first in the new open lane.
