DUmmy Roon is the queer who recently made a post to brag about being propositioned at a leather bar full of perverts. I have no experience in that arena, but my impression is that it's not really a major accomplishment. Anyway, he was proud of it. Tonight he spins a grocery bouncy. This experience is even less notable than his homo thrill:

The Grocery Express Lane...15 Items or Less..
I did a little grocery shopping and was behind this lady in the express lane..She was carefully monitoring each item as it was rung up. She had a problem with the grapefruit,it was costing more. The clerk calls produce and asks. She had the wrong grapefruit,produce will send the one that was on sale. We wait and wait. Finally! Produce shows up with the cheaper grapefruit. The lady didn't like the way they looked and decided not to get any grapefruit at all. So produce re-stocks them.
Ring! Ring! Ring! Finally they empty her basket..but wait!! She has one more request! She needs four packs of cigarettes. The cigs are kept in a cage down by customer service and he sends a bagger down to get them....we wait and wait. (it's been about 12 minutes by this time)FINALLY!! She gets her smokes...she gets to total of her purchases....
Then she gets out her checkbook..................................

1. This is the same lady who if she's standing in line
And the line isn't moving extremely rapidly will yell bloody murder for another checker to be called because she's in a hurry.
I work in a grocery store. I've seen it all.

3. I witnessed that for the first time a couple of months ago!!
I was dumbfounded in shock. Next time I will be prepared, I will tell them that they are being rude.
DUmmy hobbitnumbers spins a much better bouncy. No cops, bushes, or conversions, but he's got the applause:

2. I got stuck behind one that was in the 10 items or less cash only lane.
She had about 25 items, then whips out her checkbook. When the cashier pointed that out to her she got on her high horse and demanded to speak to the manager. He just gave her a look and pointed at his name tag and asked her what does this say-he was the manager, he was filling in. She got mad and stomped off, leaving everything behind. As she left I gave a big round of applause and the people behind me in line joined in. You could see her cringe.
DUmmy Snowball is a prick:

4. I always look at those check writers like what century are you in?
I shouldn't talk because I'm sure my Mom does it too, but it is so irritating. I admit, I'm in a hurry in everything I do and need to slow down and be more patient.

7. I don't mind them if they have the sense to begin writing
while their stuff is being rung up. But the ones who wait until the very end to even start irritate the snot out of me. I'll even say something if I can see they're going to write one - "You can begin filling out your check while I take care of this."
For several years, I've used a debit card 100% of the time. Between that and online bill payment, I very rarely have to write a check. But I think I'll start uisng checks at the grocery store. It pisses off DUmmies.
