One woman said to me, "she was ready to get on the machine", (I had waited ten minutes!!!). Finally, they decided to go to another machine, as they were in a world of their own. Consideration please.

BTW - Men do this also!!!

Waiting in a line at the supermarket with a person looking at the prices as they are scanned, (somewhat understandable). When the cashier is finished, it dawns on them to get their credit card, out of their purse. DOH!!!

BTW - Doesn't every cashier give you a receipt and that you can check the price of all items.

Did they think the cashier was going to give them a free lunch?

Consideration is a nice trait to have. Also patience, which sometimes I am in short supply of, but that's me..........

I guess I better not play golf.
Right as usual Joe, some people just seem to be oblivious to anyone else, or the circumstances, whether it be on the road, in the supermarket line, at the gym, in a theatre, at the golf course or anywhere else humans come into contact with one another.
