I Can Help the Next Person in Line
I was next in a pretty long line at the grocery store. This woman behind me was making a huge fuss about them needing to open more registers, and she was swearing and muttering under her breath.
When a second clerk appeared at the next kiosk to open another register, he looks at me and says, “I can help the next person in line, sir.” The mumbling witch behind me saw the clerk coming and had backed her cart up and was rushing for the register before he even spoke.
I saw the woman barreling toward the open register, and swiftly pushed a cart over to block her path. Her face got so red, it looked like she was going to explode as she nearly collided with the cart.
I just looked at her and said in the most innocent voice I have “Oops, he did call for next in line, though.”
