It’s bad enough when ancient people use a check, but they wait until the total shows before opening the purse, getting out the checkbook, filling everything in……Back when we all wrote checks, I filled out all but the amount while cashier is doing the order!
I just KNEW I’d seen this one before! I looked back through all my saved screenshots & finally found it. It made me laugh just as hard today as it did when it ran today in 2017 with the old blue Comics logo. Back then I didn’t have Wifi and because of where I lived I had to lay my cell on the back of my couch to be able to read my followed GoComics. Totally worth it to be able to laugh and forget some of my horrible pain for awhile on my worst days! I’m Thankful for all the laughs I’ve had from the comics and some of the comments and replies. I’ve learned a LOT from the intelligent people who made them. I also learned to just skip over some of the unintelligent ones…
Almost as bad are the ones who want to pay the exact amount of their bill with cash, and they take forever fumbling around in their purses, wallets, and pockets to find the right combination of bills and coins to do so.
This is how my grocery store experience goes. Every. Single. Time. “I can’t pay for cigarettes with food stamps? I have exact change. I just need one – more – dime. No, that’s a penny. Hold on.”
I often apologise to the person behind me and/or the cashier and explain that my presence has caused the horrible line hold up. On occasion, I tell the person behind me to find another line and then they wonder how I knew.
This last Saturday, I realized I was out of sage for the dressing and went to the store. I got dizzy weaving my cart around other shoppers, and they were out of sage. Being retired, I usually plan shopping trips for weekday mornings, didn’t realize how crowded both the stores and the roads are out there— glad to be one less person you working folks have to weave your cars and shopping carts around.
A book I read many, many years ago had a scene when the main character imagined himself “carried out of the courtroom on the shoulders of a cheering jury”…. I think that’ll be what happens for this prisoner. At any rate, it should.
the supermarket where my wife works part time recently switched to self checkout (called “serufu reji” here in japan) and, yes, despite extensive preparations, pandemonium has ensued. one of my wife’s elderly co-workers loudly complained that she was “gonna start shopping elsewhere”…

Whatever you did to him. It was justified.

If only he had just walked out of the store without paying for his merchandise/loot, he would have been okay.

Queues and related rules are better observed in the UK but that respect is eroding.
