i may have touched on this topic before, but i feel the need to expound…
so i am running around taking care of errands the other day and i needed to stop by the teeter and grab some beer. just a twelver of yuengling. no more, no less.
and just for the sake of ease, i step into the seemingly growing line at the self checkout. now, these are wonderful inventions. especially for quick purchases. nix that. ONLY for quick purchases. at least that is the way it should be.
so what happens? a girl in all her anorexic-ness is surprisingly having trouble ringing up the mountain of vegetables that she is seeking to procure. now, i am not going to get into my award winning rant on how i think that vegans are a sect of communist that are trying to topple capitalism by taking the contribution of the beef market out of the equation. kidding jenn (kinda). but there is a time and place for vegetables. and the self checkout “express” line is not one of them. no little plastic bags in the self checkout lane!
why is it that some people feel the need to make the things created for convenience the most inconvenient? if you are trying to use an ATM (MAC machine north of the mason-dixon) and your transaction is going to take longer than thirty seconds, you need to march your ass inside of the bank! there is absolutely no reason for you to make me wait for you incorrectly enter you PIN number, check the balance of all three of your accounts, ask for a measly twenty spot, and then not pay attention when it asks if you want another transaction. i can tell you what is in all my accounts right now and you should know too. its your damn money!
and for the love of all that is holy, if you don’t know what is on the menu at a fast food joint, why the hell did you pull in there for food in the first place?! do NOT make me wait behind you in a drive through (still refuse to spell it thru) line because you don’t know what is on a big mac! and you need to park the car and go inside if you are trying to change more than one thing about what it is you are ordering. the only two modifiers allowable in a drive through are “no” and “extra.” i might let you get away with “plain.” other than that, its going to take too damn long to make it for your picky ass. so go inside where there are tables.
all i am saying people is that when you are looking to take advantage of something that has been developed for the convenience of all, know you purpose before you get there.
thank you.
