babies and bitches

lots of babies! brittney & kev had their baby. a boy. no word on the name yet. seal & heidi had their baby. a boy. Henry Guenther Ademola Dashtu Samuel. sheesh. claire had her baby. a boy. no word on a name yet. (ok, so that last one is fake. claire isn't a real person, she's a character on a show about being stranded on an island where the guys are hot and the girls are high maintenance. at least it sounds real.)

now for the bitches. i stopped at the grocery store tonight on my way home. well, i normally don't mind grocery stores. i love food and i love to cook, so it's all good. lately it seems that people employed at such stores don't understand what we, as customers, actually do in the store. case in point: the last two times dave has tried to get lunch meat at the deli and PNS, he's been virtually ignored. but i digress. this is about ME. i put my overpriced items in to my cart and proceeded to the checkout. one of these days, i'm going to stop and think about the lane i choose. i'm going to pick one with more than just a couple people in it. yes, a longer one. there must be a reason no one is picking this particular lane. so, when i unloaded my items, there were 2 people in front of me. one woman who had all her items through already and was handing coupons to the cashier. the next person just had one of those carry baskets..not a lot in it. so, it was 5:50pm. (that will be significant by the time you get to the end. which might seem to take forever, like my wait in line). ok, the woman handing coupons is now discussing full moons and mental institutions with the cashier. i see NO business actually happening. great. finally, the cashier looks at the last coupon and says "one per family" etc. the customer wasn't satisfied with this. she said "it has no limit on the sign, i should be able to use both coupons". well the cashier called for assistance. again, it seemed like forever before someone called her back, and said "nope, sorry, can't do it." the cashier told the customer this, and she wanted to talk on the little phone to the person that said this. she was a complete bitch about it. "it should say that on the sign". blah blah blah. i'm getting SO pissed off at this point. i wait a little bit. i literally started to put stuff back in my cart, when someone said the customer service person was on her way. i said "good, because this is ridiculous!" and the cashier said "i know, i'm sorry" as if it wasn't her fault at all. if she wasn't so slow and didn't discuss mental institutions with customers, this might go faster. to make a longer story shorter, i got through that line at 6:05pm. i was in line for FIFTEEN MINUTES. i was so pissed. the cashier said "thanks for waiting" and i was a bitch. i just said "well, i didn't have any choice." she had the nerve to say to me as i was walking away that it wasn't her fault. GOD DAMN YOU. YES IT WAS. ugh. bitches. i hate them. i will not visit that store again. even if they do have a wonderfully tasty salad bar.
