Gossipy Checkout Clerks

posted: March 3rd, 2010 05:32 pm | 1Comment

Today at a local upscale grocery, the checkout clerk and bag boy were so involved in their personal conversation that they didn’t take the time to say “Hello” to me or my husband, or to the woman in front of us.

They were deeply involved in a slangy back-and-forth that was very inside-jokey. Foshizzle type jokey.

The worst was that when the woman in front of us left with her things, she made a joke to them — and they talked behind her back about her, how they didn’t think she had it in her to be funny.

All I could think was, Shut up. Just shut up you two halfwits and ring up my stuff and then, when I leave — refrain from talking about me.

Thank you.
