There should be a separate line for people who want to buy lottery tickets.

Just last week down here at my local Publix the lady ahead of me pulled out her "checkbook" for payment. Had not seen that in a number of years!

I deal with it everyday. They are impulsive and cannot organize. That's why all the garbage food is at checkout.

You know another name for the lottery?

The "stupid" tax.

That and atm transactions. I will never get used to this.


This is true, but ATM transactions at a casino are next level slow.

Lottery tickets. One…..by…..one


Cigarettes. 13 minutes to pick out a pack because the store never has their preferred product.

It is mind-numbing

Scratch off tickets. I hate being behind people buying those things.

It certainly builds character to have to wait for this type of shite

This is one of my all time favorite responses on here. Succinct, humorous and 100% accurate.
Well done.

Was at a less than reputable gas station in the town over coming home from work a few years ago. Youth walks in to buy a "cigar" and a bowling pin. Cashier (and owner) says that will be 3.27 or whatever. Guy digs through his pockets for what seemed like 5 minutes and puts about 1.50ish on the counter.

Knowing it wasn't enough, he just tells the cashier that he will get him next time and walks out. I just witnessed a theft. The cashier is visibly angry and I go to pay for the 50+ of gas I just pumped (no credit card at pump). I jokingly told him that I didn't have enough and would get him next time. He did not think my joke was funny.

When I lived in destin we would constantly have people drive over from Alabama to play the lottery / I could not stand being behind them in line. It was brutal
