Checkout Line

terribly early in the morning on Sunday, the 7th of March 2004 by Chad

OK, I know this is one of those stupid questions that so-so comedians like to ask. But what is up with women at the supermarket checkout line? As soon as the conveyor belt moves up an inch, its like they have to avert a bomb going off by jamming as much food as possible into that small space? Then they stand there until another inch opens up. Repeat. There is no way they can wait another minute for a good foot of space to open up and casually start placing food up there. I have to yank the cart away from my wife when she tries to do that stuff. Trust me, the checkout people aren’t so fast that you won’t be able to keep up! When (If) I finally get to retire and you pick up that part time job, I’d like to be a cashier. Just to move the belt an inch and shut it down. Then another inch… stop it… lets see how much more stuff this lady can cram in there…
