Do it again and I’ll kick your ass
Yesterday in Michaels I was behind these ladies who were signing up for classes and buying shit and basically taking a long damn time. After awhile another cashier comes up to the same lane and kinda looks around for a second. Just then this couple saunters up to check out, and Cashier 2 realizes a line is forming. And nobody likes to wait in line right? So being the customer service oriented cashier she is, she walks over to another lane and says “I can help whoever’s next in line over here.”
Note her words: NEXT in line. That’s me right? Well the couple who had just sauntered up continued to saunter, more quickly now, over to this new open lane before I could even react. So I, who had already been waiting behind the two signing-up-for-classes-and-buying-shit ladies forever, had to continue to wait while the two we’re-assholes-who-don’t-understand-the-meaning-of-the-words-next-in-the-line people got to check out right away. I was so pissed, and if I wasn’t such a wimp I might have said something. Instead I just glared, and trust me they noticed. I bet they’re still buried in guilt over the incident.
Also, I was in Michaels on Saturday too, and I got stuck behind this lady who was buying approximately 574 sheets of scrap-booking paper, each individually marked. I really need to get control of my patience issues because I think if she had bought 575 sheets, I might have started slashing people with an Exacto knife.

remember that bad dream i had- well that last line there just described part of it. by the way- i love michaels and i know what it’s like to ring up 575 sheets of paper because i used to work at JoAnn Fabrics and it is REALLY irritating to the clerks as well. (i’m not saying that i don’t do that occasionally- actually, i just buy the big packages- cheaper and better)… wow, that was rambling, eh?
