yup people can be very rude when shopping. i had an experience not long ago, at walmart...my cousin and i were standing in line; in front of us was a woman with about 5 or 6 items in her hand (we had 1 item) the lady being checked out had a cart and was about 1/2 way through when we walked up, right behind the lady in front of us...she was terribly rude, and caused it to take longer for the checker to do her job because she kept interupting the process...she actually told the young woman checking out that she was obviously a 'welfare rat' with nothing better to do than spend money on 'crap' and she was holding up the line...she should move aside and let (her) go ahead of her...the teller was told if she had a brain she would void that order and check (her) out...she did not have time to stand here all day...after all i am from _________. that was as far as it went, my cousin could not take anymore of this woman...he tapped her on the shoulder and said, so...you are from ____________ and arent' you special, shopping at walmart!
she became very red-faced threw her items down and stomped off...the lady being checked out and the checker both thanked him...
it always amazes me how some people think because of their address they should not have to stand in lines, should not have to pay the same price, should be bowed to...living in a tourist area we get to deal with them all.
