That thread was hilarious for the all the grade school squabbling and defensiveness on the part of the OP, culminating with her playing the Dead Mother Card to defend herself from criticism.
What is it with DUmmies and checkout lines? Other than desperate cries for attention at the DU cesspool, their entire interface with society seems centered around those little conveyor belts and counters with a cash register at the end:
Magazine covers
Freeper Encounters
Taking the public pulse from overheard random comments
Advertising their charitable acts of paying for someone's FunYuns
Petty acts of "subversion"
Soapbox for their own unsolicited opinions
They can measure and experience the entire cultural
zeitgeist based on their time spent in the mystical Checkout Line.
