So, I'm in line at the grocery store. In front of me is a mom with her teenage son buying, what I later found out was, around 300 spiral bound notebooks for his Eagle Scout Project. I'm sitting there praying that they dont all have to be individually rung up. I would have gone to another line, but trust me, the prospects there didnt look any brighter. So, as I was waiting in line, the "20 items or less" lane right next to me was completely open with a checker that looked rather bored. She waved me over eventhough I exceeded the 20 item limit. I was a little hesitant because I am definitely the person that will give you a bad look if I am waiting behind you while your ring up your big order. You better believe I would be counting your items thinking "All I need to do is buy these two things!".
So - what do you do?
I let her ring me up, and of course right as she gets started a couple with only three items comes up behind an waits.... I wanted to share with all those around me, "Oh, dont worry, she told me to come here - I would never exceed the amount on my own" - but that would have just been foolish. So, I tried to hurry her along, but they must have put her there because she can only handle a few items. It seemed to take twice as long.
I left wondering if I should have just passed on her kind offer to help and stood in the "I have a lot of things" line.
Any opinions?
Yeah, Caitlyn's got a little out of control. I'm well aware. I especially like that Brooklynn and Brynlee's names made it to the shirt, right Summer? Whatever! it was for them to have fun with anyways! I think I will be making another one to match Nathans a bit better - for pictures.
