Confidential to the nitwits in the Safeway checkout line
The EXPRESS lane that you were in has a 15 item limit. Just to simplify the math for you ('cos I know counting is hard), IT DOES NOT MEAN FIFTEEN TIMES THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE COMING TO YOUR PARTY!!!
I was willing to go along with the three of you parceling out the basket full of items, each taking some of them so you each had <15 items. Hell, I've been with friends and gamed the system like that before. I wouldn't have liked it, but I'd have given you the benefit of the doubt. But, nooooo. In your self-absorbed glory, you made me and several people behind you (all of whom actually could count up 15 and know they were in the correct line) wait while the poor checker rang up $173 worth of junk food.
"Geez," I said, no longer able to contain my snarkieness, "that's an expensive FIFTEEN items." You looked at me like *I* was the one who was math-challenged.
So lemme break it down for you: Get a tutor to help you with either the reading or the counting. 'Cos if you ever pull this crap with me behind you in line again, you're gonna be paying for MY groceries as well.
That is all.
