Question Time
Why is it that when I go to the supermarket I always choose the checkout lane where one or more of the following happens;
- The person in front of me forgets their pin number.
- The person in front of me has their card declined.
- Price Check.
- Conversation between checkout operator and customer about the virtues of salt-reduced butter/weather/Auskick training for the kids.
- Customer whose items are mostly scanned forgets something in aisle 24 and will be back in 'just a sec'.
- Checkout chick puts up 'this lane is closing sign' as soon as I park my trolley.
- Checkout chick has to wait for change bag to be returned.
I swear on Jebus' grave (or cross perhaps?), a minimum of one of the above things happens to me, at least 90% of the time I visit the Supermarket. It's like I have some sort of checkout default aura about me. Whichever lane I pick, EVEN IF I SWAP LANES AT THE LAST MOMENT, something will bugger up.
I think I need some sort of spell to relieve me of this curse. White candles, yellow ribbon and toenail clippings anyone?
