I hate those checkout experiences as well. Even worse are the women...sorry, but it does always seem to be women...who don’t seem to realize they have to pay for their groceries until the checker has scanned and bagged everything and tells them the cost. Only then do they open their purse, find the wallet, locate the preferred credit card, and reverse the process before they move to on.🤬🤬🤬🤬
As for your story, it seems odd that the checkout line was his first experience writing a check.
Yes! The cashier finishes the order, and the woman looks up, surprised. Then she starts digging in her purse. She might be looking for the exact amount of cash and coins - always fun. If she's paying my check, she has to find a pen. If she's paying by CC, she can't run it through the machine right. Then, when she finally manages to pay, she has to stuff everything back into their purse - neatly - a maneuver the cart away from the register.
I was in a store yesterday, and there were three registers open. Not one line was moving. Everyone had a stupid problem or a stupid question. Checkout is for checking out, not for asking what kind of primer to use or how to hang a picture.
