Our grocery store is always interesting, at any hour. The other night a father with four young daughters was just starting to check out when all the daughters decided they had to use a bathroom IMMEDIATELY. Really? he said. Seriously? Yes, Daddy. After daddy put everything back into the basket and pulled out of the line, the girls decided they didnt want to use the bathroom after all; they wanted candy. Today, I saw a self-appointed citizen line-director at work. He had a basket full of items, and he went up to each checkout line at the stores front, telling the people in each line that they would have a shorter wait in a line a few aisles away. He pointed to his basket and said, Look, I have a bunch of coupons for this stuff, and coupons take time. Youll be out of here long before I will. Im just trying to be helpful. I was rather surprised when enough people in the lines moved over to other lines so that he could move directly to the counter at one of the newly vacant lines. He was out of there long before anybody knew what hit them. I swear, this guy could run for Congress as a Republican and hed be sure to win.
