By about 30 seconds. GMTA.
It was at this point management opened a second register.
ordered a little plastic bottle of vitamin/supplement from WallyWorld. Maybe 6 inches by 3 inches, about 5 ounces.
Arrived today wrappad-up in bubble wrap,

packed with those rectangular bubble strips,
inside a cardboard box measuring 18” x 24”.
