Subject: RE: BS: Why'd Dey Do Dat??
I'm with you, Janie, on the folks who seem clueless that part of the check out is, ahhhhh, having to pay??? As you know, I have carped on these folks going back many years here... Seems that it's gettin' even worse... But here's another one... The folks who not only are clueless that they have to pay but also once they figure out that they indeed do they not only spend an inordinate amount of time doing that but once that has been accomplished they discover that "$1 Off" coupon for the Frosty Flakes and tie the cashier up another 5 minutes while she or he has to get a manager involved...
Now it'd be one thing if this was an occasional Reagan moment for folks but I'd bet that the same people do this over and over...
It's called passive aggressive behavior and these folks do it to give themselves a little power jolt in a live otherwise empty...
