I ran a quick errand to the store to return a few videos, & get a couple more. I picked out some & this lady with two kids walked up to the counter maybe 10 seconds ahead of me & started checking out. No big deal. I was in a hurry, because my wife was angry that I took the only vehicle to do the errand, as day care was just getting over, & she wanted to go to the gym to exersize, so I was told to be quick. So anyways, this female, who's checking out ahead of me walks off into the video store to shop some more. I saw what she was doing, & said in a mild voice,..." Come on lady, your holding everyone else up." That's when the checkout girl, voided her checkout, & started mine. The womans teenage duaghters face showed a slight feeling of shock, & the 8 to 10 year old had a strange look as well.
So was I rude, or was she the rude one? |

you are fine, she was ignorant, and rude. You may have returned the favor though!!!!
|

in todays world people are self centered , it somtimes helps to wake them up to the fact that there are others in it..... no you wern't rude .
|
|
I'd have done the same. I dislike people are are inconsiderat of others. Ive pissed off many people in line when i felt they where just wasteing time

She was rude. You may have considered asking the clerk to check you out while the woman shopped rather than address her directly. Rude or not, she is presumed to be a lady. You are presumed to be a gentleman and should not be curt with a woman you are unfamiliar with.

She was being ignorant & self-centered.
Too bad for her kids that mum is setting such a self-centred example. |

Checkout means checkout to me. You have got your booty and are ready to exit premises.
Folks around here get to the checkout and hold up the line while their offspring filter in with more goods, saying "hold on a minute" and then arguing with offspring about how they can't have it... I deal with it well now, amazing how age mellowed me out, somewhat. Searcher, I say you did well. Danny |

Just so ya'll know, I didn't yell it, or say it in an angry voice. Just a mild soft, voice to let her know I & others were waiting while she re-shoped.

he should have been a little more polite and said: excuse me Mam, do you mind if I go ahead of you since your still looking? |

She was selfish and rude--I would have locked her account on the spot. Selfish bitch.
|
|
when crap like that happens around me my wife leaves the area. I have no problem letting idiots know they are idiots.

I know this, if my wife want's to run & get something while were checking out, if she not back by the time the checkout is done, if anyone is waiting behind me she knows to get in line behind them.
If I haven't started to unload, I will let others go ahead of me, till she gets back. I also write my check out as far as I can ahead of time, so as to make it a speedy process, or I have my cash in my hand when the total is reached. I do my best to always make it quick & easy, for others as well as myself. |

Hey, I saw you--on the Endangered Species List--scientific name, "Consideraticus Humanus Being"--they are very, very rare. Hey, didn't anyone think my first post was at least a little funny? |

Yep! Danny |

I did! but also so true. |

Can't stand people like that. I find it difficult to bite my tongue sometimes as well.

LADIES are NOT rude or CELF CENTERED. She addressed that presumption by putting everyone on hold...as a self centered cunt. A LADY would have asked the people behind her if it was okay, or, she would have offered for the next person to go ahead hoping the the person behind him was a LADY or GENTLEMAN and would let her cut back in line. Winches, strumpets, chicken-heads, limosine -liberals, welfare mommas, are rude and celf centered. You did the right thing. To hell with this self centered cum dumpster. -HS |

+1 That and she was a women with kids with her, I always cut them slack I still would have talked to the check out clerk like mentioned above GM |
|
|
Who cares IF you were rude? You got home in a timely manner, and the wife was happy. What else matters?

YOU GOTTA SLEEP WITH YOUR WIFE, NOT THAT RUDE BROAD!
Sometimes you gotta let A holes know that they are A holes. |

Her! She tried to completely monopolize the clerk, wasting the time of anybody else who wanted to check out. I can't stand people like that. It's good that her daughters saw her get smacked down for being a bitch. |
|
|
It was very arrogant of her to assume that noone would mind waiting for her to shop more. If you're not through pay for they stuff at the counter and let the people behind you be checked out. You can always go back to get more after that. I think we need to band together to teach basic manor's to the people of the world. This will be lesson two. Lesson one;Always say please.

|
Next time,....& I know there will be. I will say, excuse me miss, are you shoping or checking out? The reason I ask is I'd like to check out, but I can't till you do. or address the check out person, & ask if I may be checked out while the nuckle head,....er....other person shops some more.
|
|
Very rude ! Don't be an asshat !
(Just joking, you should have slapped the kids, too! ) |
|
Are you supposed to reserve a spot in line at the grocery store before you get what you need? Fuck no, when your shopping, you get what you want and then you go get in line. The lady was very inconsiderate, you didn't do anything wrong.

I'm glad to see that for the most part ya'll agree with me, in that I didn't believe I was rude. I could have stated it different, or talked with the checker instead, but acording to my peers on this site I did pretty good.
