When you're in a queue and your teller has to go and attend to one of
their collegues on another checkout., both Herberts usually look
puzzled and at least 50 keys have to be pressed on the register to
sort things out.

This happens to me a lot.

Good luck!


Or the look of stunned amazement on the face of the customer when they're
actually presented with a bill and it takes another 5 minutes of rummaging
around to find the appropriate card, usually accompanied by them deciding
to
actually start packing their shopping into bags 'after' everything has
gone
through the till and been paid for...

Or writing out a cheque for £3.65.

Or the barcode which doesn't scan and after typing in about ten digits
still
doesn't provoke any kind of response, so then there is the interminable
wait
whilst someone in authority who may know the answer has to be called for.



Two women shopping together, with about half a dozen items each, who put
them
through as two separate lots. Why not do it as ONE lot and SORT THE FUCKING
MONEY OUT LATER YOU STUPID BITCHES?

=====

Or the people who carry on packing when they are presented with the bill,
instead of breaking off to hand over the card, so as to have a few seconds'
grace to pack while the transaction is going through, and so they can finish
off packing while the next person's shopping is being rung up, providing the
checkout is big enough to allow space for this to happen.

I *always* get my wallet out while I'm waiting to be served, and put it
right in front of me with the relevant cards already out and sandwiched
between the two halves of the wallet ready for when I'm asked for them. If I
happen to pay by cash and I want to use up odd coins in my pocket to give
the exact amount, I only do this if there's no-one behind me, and I try to
estimate the amount or else to have a selection of coins from which I can
quickly select the amount once I know it.

Is it my imagination, or is it more of a female than a male thing to only
start searching for the wallet/purse once presented with the bill? Or is it
just that I see more women than men doing this because (still) more women
than men do the shopping?
