   I always tell them to join the queue like everyone else and take their turn….

   There was a cute one of Avis trying to get in line in place of Ruthie’s grandma.

   Not to try at home in France, nearly 70% of us have an ‘actual career’ as well as professional mother and caretaker. That lady witch would end up with her broom in a painful place.
   Go, Ruthie, Go!

   On the flip side, there’s nothing that restores my faith in humanity more than the person who says, “You only have one item, go ahead of me”.

   Seen people like that trying to get on South West Airlines ahead of their seating number. God I love the look on their face when they are sent back to wait their turn. I mean doesn’t the world know how important they are? Yeah right.

    I often do that in the store – let somebody with only one item go ahead of me, but not if they’re rude about asking. I’d have cut her off with the cart and told her what she could do with that bottle of vodka. On the flip side, I also get rather annoyed with people who get it the express lane with full carts of groceries, or get in the express line and then want to buy cigarettes or lottery tickets or something else that requires the clerk to leave the checkstand. If I managed a store, the express lines would not sell lottery tickets or cigarette. Those bozos would have to go get in the regular line – and the checkers would not be allowed to answer a telephone if they were already waiting on a customer!

    What I hate is when a cashier will tell you “You have more than X items but I’ll ring you up over here” (in the X items or less lane) and then someone gets behind and makes a comment.

    Just do what I do! Grab them by the collar, pull them back, and tell them- “I don’t think I’ll let you do this today”! (shows gun)

    Such presumption! Ellen already has some of her items on the belt, and is a business owner!

    … anyway, I think it’s rude to ask. Always thankful when someone offers, tho. And I try to offer when possible.

    Nobody cuts in front of me. I must have that crazy-eyed look. But if they did, I would love it. I would taunt them mercilessly. “What’s it like, being so much more important than the rest of us? I bet you drive an important car, too. Should I let you cut in front of me in traffic too? Your boss says pick up his dry cleaning while you’re out.” etc.

    It never ceases to amaze me at how so many people have a sense of entitlement and self-importance. They seem to presume that everyone else must be subservient .
    I like to wear my T-shirt that says: WARNING ! Sarcasm is only the First weapon in my arsenal.
