Its mind numbing, especially the multiple transactions when they find out they can buy an extra pack of cigarettes or more lottery tickets.

Being stuck behind them in a fast food line acting like they’re at Ruth’s is astounding

Like it doesn’t even make me mad anymore, it’s genuinely entertaining

Try getting into a self-checkout line behind a bunch of eighty year olds... that's fun.

Same reason why self check outs are the most frustrating thing to wait in line for.

People in general have zero ability to be efficient

"Let me get a pack of Swisher Sweet cigarillos. Nah...the grape ones. Yeah. And...uh...let me get a wood tip wine black and mild. Nah the wood tip. Yeah. Um...two packs of newports. Nah...the 100s...yeah there you go. And two of the #24 scratch offs. Preciate it."

***Pulls out a gigantic ziplock freezer back full of change***

"Alright let's get to counting..."

Why are you going inside a convenience store regularly enough for this to bother you?

A line formed behind me at the gas station the other day because the chip on my card wouldn’t work. Then you have to play that game where you have to try the chip 3 times before it will let you swipe it.

I fricking hate chip cards. They never work.

The $1 hot dog and entergy drink buyers that clog up the gas station downtown if you don’t get there by 9 am to beat them. Nola street workers in those orange vests and bums. Gross.

Why don't you offer to pay for them to help speed up the process? Otherwise, you're just being a dick.

Got to go to ones owned by Indians or Pakistanis.

They dont take that shite.

I was in line behind some dude tryng to pay with all change and he was short, so he started to try and get the guy to just let him have the stuff for the money he had on hand. Dude behind the counter grabbed the items, put them behind the counter and said, get the frick out of here! Go on!

I waited 5-10 minutes at the store the other day because this woman was short like 86 cents, and went out to her car to dig up the change. When she was walking back to the door I noticed that she had a big fast food bag stuffed with trash and dropped into the trash out front. I guess she thought that it was the perfect time to wrangle all of the trash from her car and throw it away, while me and like 3 people were waiting on her to check out.

My general rule of thumb is that it takes dumb people longer to do things.
