Checking Out......the assholes in front of me.

What the fuck is the problem with these large stores ?  Why do they manage to make all our lives so miserable ?  It's easy to shop. It's easy to find everything. It's a breeze and usually does not take very long.  Until we are about to check out.
Let me explain myself. I usually go to the gym in the morning.  Sometimes when I need to pick up one or two things, I go into the local Target store which is right next to my gym, and usually I can be in and out of there in only a few minutes.  It's a huge store and I think have about 843 checkout lanes.  Naturally, only a few of them are ever open.  Well, the other day I was carrying some juice, cream cheese and one or two other items.  I carefully looked at the cashiers and made my dash for the smallest line.  There was a middle aged lady in front of me that seemed to be almost checked out..................................until...................
   I heard this bitch say, " Oh, I have some coupons and a store credit".  OK, so this should only take a minute.....Right ????????  Hell No.......Because then she started with a   "Oh", I don't know if I have enough money with me.   Well I knew I was fucking doomed and there was nothing else to do.  I looked at the other lines and they were all busy.
I looked back into the store and saw a couple of other ladies simply shopping and rolling their cart around the store.
Then I noticed another pretty lady rolling around by herself in a cart.  I didn't know what to do anymore and wasn't sure where to focus my attention.   It was then I heard this voice in the distance say " Sir, may I help you ? "     Yes, I was daydreaming.
It took only a few seconds to check out and I used my smart phone to charge my purchase and off I went.
Shopping should be so easy and fun.  Damn we are fucked up.  (or are we?)
