Outstanding!!. I could not have said it better.

There are a few things you either forgot or haven't experienced. For example the ethnic woman buying all sorts of bad food, no veggies or fresh anything, using a WIC card and goes over but also she is buying all sorts of stuff that is excluded by WIC. So, she pulls out her purse and hands over a credit card. The cashier runs it and it doesn't work, so she pulls out another and another and another until one works. The cashier asks for ID and the woman pretends not to understand so the cashier calls over the ethnic manager. She OKs the transaction with a wave. All while I am patiently waiting because I am next in a line of at least 15 people and have already invested too much of my time to just walk out, like I should have earlier.

Or the time I was buying some milk and veggies after work and stood in line. In front of me was a couple of guys preparing to overhaul their car or at least do an oil change. They put all the stuff on the belt conveyor and one of the jugs of oil springs a leak. The cashier pays little attention. When I get to the head of the line I try to pass the cashier my milk and fresh vegetables so not to get them oiled up. She looks at me with a certain disgust as if to say " who do you think you are"? I do not buy food there anymore.

Why didn't you use the self check-out lane?
