Lemme guess... you would have killed the person in front of you, right?
Wuss.
I would have simultaneously slit the throats AND wrists of everyone within 50 feet, then go to the *******'s house and burn it to the ground-- especially if there are people inside.
God, I hated it worknig at a spuermarket... so many people who thought the rules didn't apply to them. I thin kthe most items a guy ut through a ten-items or less till was 34. Another woman got pissed at me because I wouldn't break the law to sell her more than two packets of pain killers. Yeesh.
I'm just glad the job I'mstarting tomorrow involves zero contact with customers!
While it wasn't quite the same situation... (no check writing)... the lady must have had 30 items for a 10 items or less express lane. I wasn't pleased
I don't suffer morons very well... I've done that routine twice now, and it was worth it both times. The first time is was some young male, who obviousily didn't like the concept of waiting. He had a full cart of stuff, and there was no way I wasn't going to say something
He actually got out of line and moved to one of the other lines... I'll give him credit for doing that. I've seen him in the store since then

Now that is what I would have done if I was in an exceptionally caring and compassionate mood. If that would have been me, I would have neutron bombed the supermarket, and hunted down and butchered all of her family to branches five generations back with a chainsaw and eaten their pets

Well, I usually reserve reation to such boorishness, but when I speak to someone who is inapropriately delaying a line (always exculding my wife who take a lifetime ordering her food at counter service or cafeteria), it is usualy "Speed it up there, you are holding up the evolution of the human race."

Easiest solution ? Make it one hand carried basket only, no payment restrictions, and you can tell who's in the wrong queue before they get to the till.
Cheques need not take any longer than cash. Write a few things, compared to fiddling in purses & pockets for change ? With most of the folk in front of me who never seem to have their money ready anyway, it's a close run thing.
Reminds me, some time back, when I used to shop at Tesco.
They had a few "one basket" tills for ages. Suddenly, without warning, a load of signs went up. Words to the effect of ...
"By Popular Demand These Are Now x Items Or Less Queues".
Popular demand my arse ! Who's going to be handing in a petition to make the counting up to one (basket) thrown over in favour of counting up to x (items) !
Never took a blind bit of notice of the change, and quite rightly too !
I would have walked right up next to her... and in a loud voice...
MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE... People... Listen Up.
Right here standing next to me is the most selfish person you will ever meet. Take a good look folks, so you can identify others like her.
She either is stupid and can't read, or she thinks that she is more important than you are, and that she shouldn't have to wait in a long line like you do.
I'd like to take a vote... How many people think she is just plain stupid and can't read... come on now, raise your hands.
Now... How many people just think she is a selfish little battle ax...
Come on... let's see those hands...
So remember folks... the next time you see a woman that looks like this... you will know.
Thankyou for your time... carry on...
that's freekin awesome. I gotta remember this one.

We like to have things neatly labeled here, Gary. That way, we can go utterly insane when someone crosses the line.
I just use the auto scan when I have few items. No wait at all, hardly. All of my anger is displaced to the machine, not the annoying people in front of me, the agonizing small talk or the more than slightly bizarre checker.

Each of you must be completely alert;
never neglectful, never indulgent.
It would be nice if we did have the auto checker but the store hasn't quite caught up to the 21st century.

Cheques take ages to sort out...around a minute and a half, and usually you could have used their debit/credit/cheque guarantee card to make the purchase with anyway.
No, what annoys me are the people who need to lick their fingers in roder to get a note from the wallet - ****ing disgusting or what?!

Well, this is funny and all but I wouldn't advise it. First of all men should be gracious to women even when they don't deserve it. Second, she might not have done this on purpose. She might have something on her mind. You can give people the benefit of the doubt.
Thirdly, and most importantly, you could get killed for spouting off like that, at least here in the south. If I saw you behaving like that I would have been tempted to slug you. Your behavior would be far more unacceptable than hers in IMO.
