The title of this post gives away the point of it to begin with but I will explain my predicament. Not really a predicament but an observation. So, if you're an old woman and you're reading this, I must warn you I may not be very nice.
So I go to Wal-Mart the other day to pick up some workout clothes. I went into the store fast and found the few things I needed in a quick rotation of the store because I knew where everything was located. Now this is normally the same routine all men have when they go into any store. They know what they want before they go into the store, grab their shit and get out. Women on the other hand know what they want when they go in as well but for some inexplicable reason they have to walk the entire length of the store and go through every single shelf in the store as if there is some hidden deal buried underneath all the new stuff. That is a little off comment but it still can't be argued with. But I am quite sure that all women will argue with it because I think they don't notice it at all.
The thing I have a major problem with is when I go up to the speedy checkout line, which is 20 items or less, not 40, not 60, but 20. All the older women have a problem with understanding that little bit of mathematics in this process as well. They believe that if you have multiple copies of the same thing then that still counts as 1 item! It doesn't ladies! Each individual barcode counts as 1 item. Please understand this. And Also, splitting up your items so they fit into the 20 items category is also extremely unacceptable. The reason the speedy checkout line was created was for people that have a small list of items and they can get in and get out in a speedy fashion. So, if you have a ton of shit in your cart and the normal lines are full but the speedy line has noone....too fuckin' bad! I guarantee the second you pull up to that line and off load all your crap i onto the belt, someone with just a stick of deodorant and toilet paper will show up behind you. Now to all the ladies that do this particular technique I want you to stop and look at the face of the person behind you. That is what pure irritation looks like!
But anyway I digressed in a huge way right there. So, I have my few things and I go stand in the speedy checkout line. In front of me is an old lady with approximately 35 items, again with the mathematics. The guy that is actually doing the checkout doesn't say a word, he just continues to scan all items and he tells the lady what the damage is. The price was $37.82. She hands him two 20 dollar bills, and instead of taking the $2.18 in change she has to take her gigantic bag she has thrown over her shoulder and she starts digging through it looking for $0.82 in coins. And obviously the coins aren't in a small place with the rest of the coinage, but strewn out all over the place in her bag. She has to take, what seems like 20 minutes to look for the change. Okay lady, this is not a speedy checkout at all! Just take your goddamned change and get the hell out of the way. Take your change to the bank later when you have it all rolled up or bring it to a grocery store with a Coinstar machine in it like everyone else.
This was not a one time occurrence, nor do I have something against women. Because if it was a man doing the same thing I would be equally irritated but it always turns out to be women. Why can't these women not dig for their change? And, is there a point in all women's lives where they start to do this coin technique?
