On the recommendation of a nice Highway Patrol officer, I stopped by Walmart last night to get a bulb for my license plate light. As usual, I grabbed a couple other things, and tried to find a short line. A few minutes later, a couple of teenaged girls stood off to the side of the line, and started talking loudly--"People with a bunch of stuff should let people with only one thing go ahead of them".
(pause)
"We've only got one thing, those people have a bunch"
(pause)
They repeated themselves along these lines until I got my PDA out and started reading. For the record, I had 4 items, the guy in front of me had maybe 10, and the cart in front of him was in the process of getting rung up.
I probably would have started grabbing all the stuff from the checkout display.

Definitely would have insisted on a price check on the bulb, but probably not much more than that. No need to torment the poor cashier, ya know.
Please tell me their one item was some from of birth control.
