I'm a bit annoyed right now. I have a little story for you:

I went down to the supermarket down the street that was open 24/7. I was getting the 1.5 liter Coca Cola that was on sale that I would use to wash down the trail mix bar later. The only employees around were a couple of college students lunging on the counters.

As I came nearer to the cashiers, I went into nice respectful customer mode.
I went up to the girl closest to the exit and asked, "HI, are you open?". She nodded and proceeded to slowly push herself upright with a loud groan. Like it took all her energy to do so. She eyed me as she took the soda out of my hand and rolled it across the scanner. Beep! She plopped it into a bag and finally opened her mouth. Out came a languid, "Dollah twelve." How nice. I gave her the money.

I stopped next to the exit to pocket the change and watched as an older 30-something man came up to her. A sweet smile appeared on her face and she asked in a pleasant voice, "Coffee, sir?" When he agreed, she nodded. "Small or large?" She proceeded to fill the cup and ask exactly how he wanted the coffee, sugar, milk/ half 'n half, the works. When it was perfect, she handed it to him with a final dazzling smile.

What am I, expired meowmix? ^{=what am i, chopped liver?=} WTH?
