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

That I can understand, and usually lend a hand.

because there’s a correlation between intelligence and financial success.

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

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.

I don’t even know what those items are except for the Kool. But yeah, those folks are annoying and useless. I wish they’d be tossed from the store holding up the line.

Definitely a lack of efficiency. I've also perceived that it's a general lack of consideration. Consideration of others often gets left out in the discussion of attributes of intelligence.


I worked at a small grocery/convenience store that also sold gas in a rural community for a few years when I was in high school. I never could figure out if idiots like that were doing it intentionally, just to piss people off, or if they were genuinely too stupid to realize how inconsiderate they were being. I would imagine there is a little of both types.

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

Generally people buy one or more of the following items:

Cigs
Vapes
Weed wraps (papers/cigarillos)
Sodas/snacks
Lottery
Beer

So most of the people (likely including the OP) are purchasing something trashy. This includes me if I’m ever in one.

I did forget about the cool knives, trucker hats, kratoam, delta vapes, fake urine, Hunt brothers Pizza and boner pills one can get at my local store.
