Frustrating Morning

Now what I'm about to blog may sound like complaining and whining, but I consider it venting so bear with me.....

I made the choice to go to the grocery store this morning because well, Thursdays are usually my grocery shopping day unless something comes up and I have to go later on. Anyway, I had to take Adam with me because there was no one available to watch him at home. Granted, I don't do this very often for the obvious reasons, but this time I had no choice. However, Adam was not the problem this morning. We went to Walmart and made it through the store with no problems except the occasional grabbing that Adam did when things on the shelves were within his grasp. I know you're thinking..what was the problem then? I'm getting to it. So we get finished and go to checkout. Well I got in a line where a young black female was the cashier. I put my groceries on the belt and once she finished with the rude and obnoxious customer in front of me, I explained to her that I preferred not to have too many bags and that she could pack things tight in the bags. Remember that thought. She preceeds to tell me that the young white guy standing next to her was taking over the register and would be checking me out. She told him how I wanted my groceries packed and then left him to it. Now, I am a particular person when it comes to how the groceries are packed. It could be that I'm obsessive compulsive or it could be that I use to work at Bilo and Walmart and have just put a system into my head that has stuck for all these years. Anyway, I had placed my meats together, cold stuff together, cleaning products together, etc... Well this guy( which btw is scanning and bagging stuff at a 2 mph pace) has decided that he is going to place my chicken in a bag with the air freshener and my hamburger meat in a bag with the fabric softener. OMG!!!! You are kidding me, right! When I went to work for Walmart, that was a BIG NO NO!!! Obviously it doesn't take a genius to figure that out, but this guy didn't seem to quick on the uptake. Then to top it off, as if he wasn't going slow enough, two of his friends walked up behind me in line and he stood there talking to them while checking me out and paid more attention to what they were saying and doing than what he was suppose to be doing. Once he finished, I told him that I had used my debit card and then he proceeds to hand me the receipt, looks down and says, "Oh I'm sorry mam I forgot to scan your coupons." I told him that I would take them back and use them next time. Now I know that I could have taken the time to speak to a manager, but at that point in time I was just ready to get out of there. Needless to say, next time I'm in there, I will not go through his line, even if it means I stand in the longest line in there.

Okay now that I'm done venting, I will hush....ugh what a morning! I hope none of you have that kind of experience like I did.
