In line with Little Bit at Ballard Goodwill this morning. Very long lines, and store clerks that seem to be......well, not bright.
Two people ahead of me, seven behind me. This woman buying fabric, well dressed, no seeming problems stops, looks at the line, and cuts in right in front of me.
So I say "Excuse me, but the back of the line is back there". She looks at me, and then puts her stuff on the counter and goes back to staring forward. I repeat myself. She ignores me. The person ahead of her says I'm behind him. She ignores him. The CLERK tells her the end of the line is over there. She ignores her.
Little Bit goes "someone didn't teach her not to cut in line". I agree with Little Bit, as does the person behind me.
The line moves forward. She moves up. The clerk says again "the end of the line is back there". She looks at the clerk like some form of lower life and goes "are you going to ring me up or not".
Alas, the clerk rang her up. Then disappears, leaving the by-then ten people in line waiting for five minutes until someone comes over and opens another line, THEN attemps to wave other people into her line. At which point, all ten of us go "NO, we've been waiting!"
Serious twittery.
