When you're in line

at the supermarket and you notice that the person behind you has a handful or less of items do you tell them to go infront of you?


How do they respond?
How do you feel when you do?
Do you feel bad when you considered it and decided against it?





































Bonus question:
Do you usually pick the worst line to be in?
 
I always get the worst line to be in........and yes, I will always let someone ahead of me that has a few items....I get "are you sure" and I'm like yeah, go ahead I don't mind. Then it never fails at least one of their items needs a price check!! :whatever:
 
If I'm not in a big hurry, I'll let them go first. If I am in a big hurry, I"m thinking that they probably think I'm an asshole.

We may have been separated at birth....
 
yes especially if it's an elderly woman, hot chicks... nope,... jk..

hell i have lots of time with nothing to do... might as well be nice to people..

if they ask, then the answer is maybe..
 
Most people are selfish and will make you wait if they get there first. I have people let me go first from time to time.

I had some lady do that to me at Walmart with a huge cart full of stuff in the express lane. There I was holding an emergency pair of Spider Man shoes for my son. I got there just after her. The bitch was going to try to make me wait for her but the checker wouldn't let her go. Ha! :spin:

YES!
Yes, I know that feeling.

I figure eh, it's good karma and who knows I might have just avoided a 6 car pile up at the market intersection by delaying my course of the day.
 
No, handful of items should go to the 15 items or less line.

I hate grocery shopping. I'm a magnet for old ladies who hit me with their carts when they are not paying attention. Twice already this year.
 
Since I usually shop at 2a.m, I rarely have this dilemna. :)
 
I usually let them go.

What I can't stand is the people that have their cart completely full and fumble their retarded ass through the self checkout for 15 minutes. I foam at the mouth when I have a gallon of milk in one hand and 5 dozen eggs balanced in the other and come up on that.

What if you're in the 15 or less and the person behind you has one item?

Situations like that it's up in the air for me - I have to think about it and I have to admit that if I get a good vibe off the person it will sway my decision.

Probably not as it should take no more than a minute for me to go thru...
 
Or you let them go through and get ice, or cigarettes? In Utah the cigs is a pain because they have to keep them locked up, usually near the customer service counter.

I always underestimate what I want to buy if I take one of the hand carrying baskets...

You're in luck - there are no wrong answers!
Yeah! I may pass then.

Yes, I usually let people in front of me, because I'm not in much of a hurry when I go to the store usually. I'm a REALLY laid back person. If I see someone who has to use one of those drive around carts, I'll unload it onto the belt for them because I know it is hard for them to do with limited mobility.

I like to be kind. It makes everyone's day. Plus, we are drilled to have impeccable manners in the south. It's that souther hospitality thing.
 
See this is strictly an American phenomenon

And we all understand your question


In China, lines are mobs, they have no idea how to form a line and go throw the cash register, and it is a mob scene, From Beijing to Tibet
 
BONUS QUESTION: ALWAYS!! i get the lady who has had a 1/2 of milk slowly leaking thru the entire store, and has 2 eggs smashed in her dozen, no price on the wine special, and her chips-ahoy cookies were already opened.
OR the new dad with 1743 gerber baby food jars.

fuck....

it all depends if there is a 12 items or less ill wtf is this person doing behind me and my 400 items.but if it is a person with kids i almost always let them go because most people dont know how to shut there fucking kids up and I get sick of hering them wine.
 
Depends.....


If there are considerably less items - I let them go ahead.




Line deciding - Im fairly good at that.....you look the total items in the buggy...not how much room they take up.


LOL




....and look to see if the person in front has their checkbook out
 
only thing that annoys me is the self checkout lane and people who act like they are working a nuclear missle launch. sheesh fuck some people amaze me
 
of course. also, if there isn't a messy puddle on the floor, i'll smash a jar or two of apple sauce, maybe some tomato paste for good measure, and then throw down my coat over it just as a young lady is walking up. * never let it be said that i'm not a gentleman.




















* if it's an old bitch, i'll check her into the shelves and then stand over her, screaming WHAT? WHAT? MAKE A MOVE.
 
Sure I will, but I don't see that too much. I also think I'm the only person on line who doesn't get mad at whatever you';re supposed to get mad at when someone is taking too long at the register. By the time I get to the cashier, he/ashe is apoligizing to me for taking too long, but I say "It's cool my man, no problem in this Harlem." and pay the damn bill.

Things happen, expect it. I can be a cool cat on line.
