I agree with the inattentive parents and welfare bums, but what do you have against people trying to save money? I have been behind some folks who don't even begin to go through their coupon collection to pick out the ones they need beforehand, but people with coupons in general are no problem.
I use coupons and they’re always ready to go. I plop them down for the cashier as she’s ringing up my order.
What really ticks me off is the people who wait until the entire order is rung up and they see the amount to BEGIN to fill out their check in the check book. If you want to pay by check, fine, have it ready except for the number (surely you know what store you’re in) and DON’T USE THE EXPRESS CASH ONLY LANE. ARGH!
My own pet peeve is waiting in line behind people playing the lottery. They should have a special “morons only” line for the lottery players IMNSHO.
I like to see people using coupons. My pet peeve are those people who wait until all the groceries are totalled and bagged and THEN it dawns on them that they have to pay for them. So they start fumbling through their purse looking for their checkbook and then spend ten minutes s-l-o-w-l-y filling out the check.
I never write checks anymore since the advent of debit cards, but back in the olden days when I did write checks, I always made sure I had the date, the name of the store and my signature filled in while I was waiting so all I had to do was write in the total.
I guess that makes too much sense.
