Maybe she was used to it or maybe she had a sick child in the car Or maybe she is an ass, but I agree with Tom, take the high road. Matt,

It bugs the heck out of me to see printed material with such errors. It's a simple rule, folks. If you can count it, it's "fewer." If you can't, it's "less." Case in point: I got fewer than ten gallons of gas, but that's less gas than I got last week. She was probably parked in handicap parking, too.

Obvisiously she wasn't a hot chick, or it wouldn't have been so bad. But I've seen this same woman a hunnert times in the grocery stores that I haunt. And I know her personality type as well. I prefer grocery stores that have a self check out, so at least one has a chance to avoid these personality disordered customers. I’m with ya dude on this one!! Obvisiously she wasn’t

I bet she had that Patrisha Dunn personality. Sorta bitchy looking, with the bitchy i'm in a hurry attitude, who the fuck looks at signs anyway, cuz signs mean nothing when I want my way kinda gal. I'll wager Ms Dunn goes through the express lane with two shopping carts filled, then if told she can't do that, then asks for the manager. P.S. I bet she had that Patrisha Dunn personality.

One of my pet peeves are people who clearly exceed the limits on express lanes at grocery stores. I'm actually quite pleased to hear that Randall's at least makes people bag their own groceries in the express lanes so as to discourage (presumably) such inconsiderate people. Worse yet are the people who do the same thing in the U-Scan lanes at Kroger's while also PAYING BY CHECK!! I've come very close to calling these people out, but I honestly can never bring myself to do it. Bramanti, I salute you for defending the cashier who surely was as annoyed as you with her blatant disregard for the express lane rules. AMEN!

Today, a most pleasent of days, i go to check out with one item and not knowing if its noon yet, i go to the 10 items or less lane. There is one fellow ahead of me, who has a case of the red ass. Then I see, our dippy woman friend again, along with her dippy husband, with a car full of crap. There musta been at least thirty items or more. The checker was someone new, who looked like it was his first day on the job. No one said anything, but the whole line was peeved, as the line was getting longer and longer. I wish Matt had been there, just to hear one of his famous zingers. Let me whip this dead horse one mo’ time. Today, a most pleasent of days, i go to check out with one

My wife goes to Kroger by the house and gets into the scan-it yourself aisle with a basket full of crap. I went to the store with her the other day and she went to this aisle. I looked up and saw that this aisle was 15 items or less. I told her and she said "I didn't know, oh well"... as a line formed behind her. There's a sign bigger than the sign over an off ramp hanging over her hard head. And she's only been ther only 50,000 times! I don't go shopping with her EVER! Was she short and mean looking?
