So I don't know if this bothers anyone else, but I gotta ask: does it annoy you when you're checking out at a store, and the register person just throws your change and receipt at you and expects you to get out of the way immediately for the next customer?

Ugh, it just really bothers me. Maybe I'm getting old (at 26, haha!), and I know that it speeds up the process when you get out of line as quickly as possible, but jeez, would it kill these people to hand you your change first so you can put it away, and then your receipt? Or, here's an idea ... put the receipt in the bag?

Today while at the drugstore, I was checking out, and the cashier person hastily gave me my change and receipt and said, "next!," and even though I was clearly not done putting everything away, the person behind me started putting her stuff on the counter. So I felt rushed, stepped to the side, and I dropped my change everywhere. I was ticked. I'm not one of those really slow people who takes forever to get situated, because those people actually annoy me, too. But like, a few extra seconds wouldn't kill anyone, right?

Maybe I'm just in a bad mood, but yeah, it really bothers me. Am I the only one?

Oh, I totally hear ya, CorgiTales. Like I said, I really hate it when people take forever to put everything away (my mom falls into that category, and it's so embarassing when I go shopping with her because she'll hold up the line for five minutes if you let her). But like today, for example, I wasn't even given time to put my change in my wallet! I was literally pushed aside with my money in my hand and the cashier didn't even hand me my bag before the next person was already in place ... I almost forgot it. That seems to happen to me more and more these days. I'm all about just chucking everything in my purse, but I also feel like a few seconds to at least get things in my wallet wouldn't hurt anyone :) Also, I live in a city, so I walk everywhere with no car to go to to get organized. I've often just left a store with a huge chunk of cash in my coat pocket because I get pushed out of the way before I can stick it in my wallet.

I dunno, it's a breate of fresh air when I'm at a high-end department store and they hand you your cash, wait a second, hand you your receipt, wait a minute, and bring your bag around the counter. Sighhh :)

But no worries, no hate coming from this end :)
