I was at Target yesterday buying two things: a microwave oven and a santa hat. The express lines were pretty long, so I got into a regular line that looked to be a little shorter, even though people had more items. The lines were probably about even time-wise. This woman walked up and got behind with with 5 or 6 items in her hands. She seemed kind of ticked off that the express lines were so long. She came up next to me and said, "Can I go ahead? I only have these?" I said, "I only have two things," and turned back around. She kind of motioned toward the microwave in the cart, like it was big and therefore would take longer to ring up? I didn't speak to her any further, but I assumed she thought her 5 or 6 small items would take less time to pay for than my 1 small and 1 large item? I didn't even take the microwave out of the cart. The cashier just zapped it with the hand-held scanner. It took much less time than passing multiple items over the scanner and bagging them. This woman continued to stand behind me and huff and puff and shuffle her feet. Was I rude to not let her go ahead, even though I had fewer items? Our microwave had just died about an hour before. I needed to get home, set up the new one, quickly eat dinner and get my son to his band concert (along with the new santa hat I was buying). I always let people go ahead when they really do have fewer items. But in this case, she had more than I did!
