Tell me what you really think.
You know, that happens to me all the time. Inconsiderate people irriate me. And I am like that when I go out with my kids. I don't like to inconvenience people.
Good luck with your flowers. I bought some tea roses in the spring. Left 'em in the garage & they died! I suck.
Marsh causes you far too much frustration, Mamacita! You need to find another supermarket, honey!
Mmmm. Grecco's. (For you non-locals, that's pronounced with a long "e.")
It's not the best I've ever had, but it's far, far better than you'd think you could get in Our Home Town.

There is nothing wrong with having a stiff-necked sense of right and wrong, particularly when you apply it much more harshly to yourself than others. It's a girl thing, babe, so let yourself go with it. Your kind actions outweigh any bad karma for wrong thoughts.
Oh sweetie, you and Marsh's have HISTORY!
I am relieved to know that your student found his friend.
HUGS to you my friend for being so patient. Not one of my virtues I must admit.
I was in line behind a woman who sat there with the circular and argued every price with that poor cashier.
That was horrible. Slappage would be much more satisfying.
I know exactly what you mean; I go out of my way not to inconvenience others also, and I have NO tolerance for people like that woman. I think stores ought to have a policy about that kind of stuff and a way to put them aside to let others be waited on first. Had I done that, I would have been mortified!
Why couldn't the cashier just ring her up, pull her cart around to the side and take her money when she got back? If she never came back, she could just call a manager, cancel the sale and have someone put everything back. It's not like this has never happened before.
Even when she ran off to get something, the cashier could have called a bagger or a manager to go get the item, so as not to hold up the line.
This is the kind of situation that makes me go to the higher priced shops where some of the profits are invested in hiring and training.
"Put guards at the doors to keep out women in 800-thousand-dollar dresses made out of four cents worth of tulle, five pigeon feathers, and a safety pin. Make them comb their hair. No "costumes," just pretty clothes"
Mamacita, you gave me a great big laugh with this one! Thanks for helping to start my day on a good note. I am glad I go back to read the comments at Michele's - some of them are really good, and this is one of the best.
I think I was behind you in line.
I'm like you. I don't believe in inconveniencing others because of my mistake. I'll take things to the car and then go back -- if it's something I have to have right then. Otherwise I'll just wait.
You would have been out faster if you weren't obsessed with going up and down every single aisle in the grocery store whether you need anything from it or not! 
I hate grocery stores to this day, and I think it's because of childhood memories of shopping at Mills' Market and shivering for an hour or more while you made your meticulous way up and down every damn aisle. Why do grocery stores have to be so cold? I just look at the big signs, hit the aisles I need, and bolt for the cashier stands.
Ah, Mills' Market.
No longer there as Mills' Market. I believe it's JayC now.
Apparently, after old man Mills passed on, his kids didn't have the same business acumen, and the place got really crappy.
What was the topic? Oh yes. I got caught behind someone like that up here a couple of weeks ago. When she had the "I just forgot something" moment, she SAUNTERED back to look for it - and picked up two more items along the way as well.
And she got snippy with the people behind her for making her have to snake through the line to get back to the register ("I need to get through!").
She did not apologize to the cashier - nor to anyone else.
Being a rational person, I followed her home and set her house on fire.
My picture is now over town as a hero. Oh, sure, it SAYS "Wanted" on the picture, but that just means they want more people like me.

Have you read "Goops And How To Be Them" by Gelett Burgess? It is an old primer on good manners. A favorite of mine is:
No matter how you wish
For the last one on the dish,
Miss Manners has a right
to it, not you.
And the largest one of all,
Or the nicest, big or small -
Well, I think you'd better
leave her THAT one, too!
Enjoy your new flowers!
Just what ARE you doing with all that poppy seed dressing?

In the good old days, they could have laid that woman's receipt aside while she went to get her purse, and waited on other people, because all they had to do was ring it up on the CASH register. Damn computers....
People in supermarket lines are always rude. On the rare occasion that I meet someone who isn't I can barely respond. The thing that kills me is when I get in line behind osmeone with 300 items and I'll I'm holding children's tylenol for my sick kid at home and I have to wait for 20 minutes while he guy argues over prices! argh!
Crotch garden? Did I read that right? What's a crotch garden and is it fragrant?
Notice where I focus... pervert alert...
