I complain a lot, I know it's true. But, there are just so many things that annoy me. Today, my beef is with Shoppers Drug Mart, and their customers.
So, everytime I go there (which is pretty much on a daily basis) I end up standing in an incredibly long line. For whatever reason, they only ever have one person on cash. Even if there are three people standing there, only one person will actually be operating a cash register. Everyone knows that there is more than one cash register in a Shoppers. In fact, this one has six. Four at the door and two in the cosmetics area. Although, I think those girls think they're too good to operate the register. They never help out.
So, yesterday I went there to buy some soap. I finally found it, got into line behind about 6 people. Typically there was only one person operating a cash, and eventually another woman came over to help out. Which was good. I figured we'd move through quickly and all would be well. Did I mention this was Friday night? Yup, Friday night at the mall with only one cashier.
Common decency suggests that the people who have been waiting in line for longer would be served first, doesn't it? Yup, I thought so too. But for some reason at Shoppers people don't follow that rule at all. As soon as a second cashier opens up, people come from out of nowhere and scoot in there before the people who have already been waiting. What's wrong with one line? That's the way it works in most stores. Stand in line, and when the cashier is open, the next person goes there.
Normally that wouldn't bother me so much. Actually, it would, but that's beside the point. I was on a 15 minute break, and I spent the entire 15 minutes in line at Shoppers. Why do I keep going there? It's the only drug store in the damn mall. And there's not one on my way home from work, else I'd go there instead, you can bet on that.
So, it's just made me mad all over again! I hate people.
