I just came from target. The woman in front of me at the checkout had apparently ordered some cup cakes at the target bakery. Supposedly when the guy ringing her up moved them over the scanner and what not, some of them got flipped over in the plastic box they were in. Before all of this the lady's little boy, who was about 3 had been begging her for some "white gum" (trident?) which she annoyedly (yeah it's not a word) located for him in the checkout lane.
So anyway, the lady was upset, first because the check out guy did not have a pen so she could write a check (stupid fool didn't bring her own pen...). So then she did not want the cup cakes because some of them had gotten flipped. The man appoligized for it and sent her to the bakery to get some more. This was not enough, and she wanted to speak with the manager. The manager came and the lady proceeded to tell the manager about how her order was not placed because some "5 year old something" did not take it right and some "older lady" refused to help the "5 year old girl". So she said she wanted some new cup cakes and didn't want to pay for them. The manager said this was fine and they went to the bakery.
Now the reason I am even writing about any of this is because it really pissed me off. I mean really pissed me off. First the lady was giving her kid some gum and he was wining about it non stop. Second she was all pissed off about some cup cakes that were not even that damaged, and were probably for some kids who wouldn't even notice. Also the plastic box thing that they were in was not all the secure in the first place, and they would have probably gotten messed up in the car on the way home any way. So anyway the lady made a big deal over that. Also she acted like the was not even going to write the check because the guy at the register did not have a pen (he eventually found one, poor fella).
So here I am feeling like telling the lady off, and defending the cash register guy, and running her son over with my cart here, and I figured it would just be better if I wrote about it in my blog. Now maybe the cup cakes were for orphans and maybe she had a long day at work, and maybe her sister just died. What ever she was not acting right, and she sure was acting like target owed her big time. When the guy rang me up he kinda put my bread and lettuce and other stuff together in a bag and whatever, but I didn't really care cause he was already pissed cause of the lady. I didn't need to give him a hard time, plus none of my goods were damaged.
Any who, I just needed to rant about that cause it really pissed me off. Like a lot. That kid is probably not even going to remember those cup cakes when he grows up. In fact he probably will hate his parents and be a really really bad kid the way his mom was giving him what ever he wanted and in general kind of ignoring him... Any way that's enough for now, I feel a little better. I just need some time... or maybe something to punch...
Any way, laters.
