Whole Foods

Recently late one night during the week I needed to buy deli meat to complete my lunch supplies for the next day. It was rather late so the store only had a few registers still open. However, the line to checkout was very long considering the time of night. The woman in front of me asked if I would hold her space in line for a minute. i said sue "Sure" (Thinking this would only be a minute.) That minute turns out to be an odyssey and right before it would be my turn to checkout 10 minutes later she arrives and doesn't even have the decency to apologize for disappearing. The woman in back of me was pissed at how rude she was to me as well as everyone else on line. It turns out the woman who left the line went to the other end of the line to get a soup... Then on top of that she blamed the reason for disappearing so long was for the store not having a top for her soup. She should not have went so far from the line in the first place and passing the blame on to the store is absurd if you ask me, However, I just rolled my eyes and did not think much of it... I made a remark about society.... I guess after working in sales so long I learn to dislike people and sometimes I tend to lower expectations of people. I guess sales will do that to people... (My advice is do not get into sales...) Sorry for the long tangent on sales.
As I am leaving the store the woman that was in back of me in line walks up to the woman that cut back into the line at the registers and told her that she really should apologize to me. I thought it was a really nice that someone had cared about common courtesy in this cruel world. I never did receive an apology as I was leaving the store when I saw that and really did not want a fake apology. If anyone has some interesting caught in line stories at the long register lines of a supermarket I would love to hear them in the comments. Sorry for the long delays in posting to the blog.
