I would be so embarrassed
04.21.04 (3:26 pm)   [edit]
Monday I went to the grocery store to buy a few items and get a roll of quarters for the laudromat. After paying for milk, cereal and other items I went to the customer service desk to purchase a roll of quarters. The line was two persons long so I was pleased. Plus, as I got to the line, 7 people came up behind me so I thought I had excellent timing. The guy at the desk was paying his light bill with a check and that took about 2 minutes to get done. Then the lady infront of me turned to her side and pulled a large cart filled with boxes to the counter. I gasped in shock.

She had about 5 boxes worth of small packages to return. Apparently she had a party for a child and not as many people as she thought showed up. She had at least 60+ items from party favors to plates and forks to return. I watched as the customer service rep scanned each and every item and swiped the ladies credit card for the refund. Then things didn't add up and it was because the lady had purchased these items on 3 different trips to the store - so 3 receipts to deal with. Plus she had used 3 different credit cards. So then they had to match each item to the corresponding receipt and credit card. After that was done, there were still 4 items that could not be matched to a receipt. After much confusion and back and forth, the lady admitted that she had bought those at a different store but the same chain and should be allowed to return them. She had no receipt and so an argument ensued.

I looked behind to complain to someone and suddenly realized that I was the only person left standing in line. Everyone else must have bolted once they saw her pull out the cart and the dumbass I am, I just stood there waiting. Finally, the customer rep agreed to accept the last 4 items but could only give the lady a store credit. After all this, I began to motion forward, figuring that this lady was finished at the counter.

I stopped dead in my tracks when she pulled out her check book and an envelope. She needed to pay her cable and telephone bill but she only had the coupon for the cable. So she needed the customer service rep to call the phone company. At this point I sighed. LOUDLY.

Everyone seemed to turn and look at me. I didn't mean to be so loud. So, I slowly walked away and left the store. My laundry can wait.

I totally understand your thoughts on this. I agree. Boy do I hate it when at the customer service line to do whatever only to find I am behind the moron buying a weeks salary's worth of lottery tickets. I hate the damn lottery.

We'd better not tell CrapPix about the wild Indians and bears wandering the streets here in America, then. He'll never want to come here!!

It's a supermarket. They have a deal with the local utilities that for a small fee you can pay your bills there.
