Costco Trip From Hell

Rough day at work, but after 8 hours I escape.
I need gas, so I decide to get the needed bulk whatnot at the same time.

I head into the meca… There are the normal fools that just barrel out of rows and don’t look, the idiots there for the free tastings….

I get my needed items and head for check out.

There are 4 lanes open.

The line are to the rows of food.

Finally another is opened and I win the prize of getting to be in that line.

There is a yogurt thingy on the rolling mat. I place my items ahead of it while the cashier gets ready. When she is ready I tell that this particular item is not mine.

She says – “Isn’t your or you don’t want it?”

Me – Taken aback – “Not mine, it was there when I came over”

She – All huffy – “I need a go back”

Me – Had I been more aware I would have figured out that she was accusing me of wasting food. ARG!

As she is slamming my items around – apparently she doesn’t ring like any other cashier at Costco that I have ever in my life gone to. She is grabbing the soda and water from the cart (since when?), slamming it down, manages to totally mangle a new book of maps I was buying… Good lord! I was ready to throttle her! Had I not needed to get home I would have complained…

Finally she is done harassing me and my items…

I head to the door.

There is a woman with a toddler ahead of me. “Stepping onto soap box” Personally I find it rude and inconsiderate for stay at home mom’s to head to restaurants at the noon hour, especially around industrial area, or to go shopping between 4 and 7pm. I might sound like a be-atch, but please I only have so much time in my day that I can plan my errands around, they only have nap time and feedings, so get out of my way!
