Not a problem if the purse is open and ready. The ones that **** me
off are the ones that wait until the cashier tells them the amount
due and then they open the pocket book, take out the purse count out
the money. *Did they think it may be free? *Don't get me started on

Yep.

When I find myself behind one who waits for the total to start rummaging
around in her purse for her check book, I ask her, stage whisper, "Let me
ask you, did you think the name of this store might change while your
purchase is being tallied? Or maybe the date? Or YOUR name?"

The last time this happened, the lady indignantly retorted: "If you say one
more thing, I'm calling the manager!"

I replied: "One more thing."

Much hilarity followed.

Which is why I never pay cash at a gas station but use my credit card
at the pump.
Besides people like that there are the ones buying Slurpies and
burritos or whatever other junk food is offered and you end up wasting
10 minutes of your time.
