So sick of these people with a 500 dollar shopping spree worth of shit in their carts who are either in a ‘hurry’ to get out of a store or are just socially inept so they jump at the opportunity to not have to interact with another human being. Seriously, these stores with self-checkout machines need to put an ITEM LIMIT sign. Every time I go to a store and move to the self-checkout lane for a quick getaway with my two items (usually chocolate and yet another Lady GaGa remix CD), I get stuck behind no less than four people taking up every self-checkout computer with a cart full of early Christmas shopping or something! And it’s always people who are clueless about how the no-brainer bar code scanning technology works. If they’d just spend the extra few minutes standing on a line with an actual cashier, they’d actually be out of the store about 10 minutes sooner because all their purchases would be scanned through and bagged for them within minutes by a…um…professional. And not for nothing, but these people who use the self-checkout to buy the store’s inventory usually have a distracting child in tow trying to mess with the onscreen commands as the nice robot lady voice talks to them, dragging the process out that much longer while a line of twenty people with like two items each is waiting. I wish these kids would just have the guts to kick their parents out of the way to demonstrate how computers actually work….
Meanwhile, while I can barely pay my mortgage despite busting my ass at my job, people get paid big bucks to host shows like Extra despite making uninformed comments like, “Chely Wright is the ONLY country singer to EVER come out of the closet.” Really? REALLY? I know she’s not Elvis Presley (although she’s been known to drag up like him), but you’ve never heard of K.D. Lang??? Maybe I’m the one who’s uniformed, because the first time I ever heard of country singer Chely Wright was two days ago when I was sadly TMI (too much informed) that she feasts on trailer trash tuna taco—you know, the same time the hosts on Extra learned who she was.
