By the Numbers

Don’t you just hate it when the person in front of you in a check out line has a problem with an item in his or her cart? And it’s really busy, or there aren’t many cashiers on duty—or both— and there you are, stuck. Don’t you hate it even more when it’s YOU that is the person at the cashier with an item with a problem?
It never seems to fail. If I go into a store, be it W*lmart or the grocery store, I get to the checkout stand with at least one item that either doesn’t have a price sticker… or the barcode scanner can’t read the barcode. Personally, I think that, in these cases, the item should be free (yah, I know, it can’t be, but a girl can dream). The irritating thing is, that it seems to happen, most often, to an item that you really need…or want…so that you don’t want to just say, “Ahh, forget that item and go on to the rest.”
I swear, I ought to charge money as a quality control shopper. Is there such a thing? ‘Cause I’d make a GOOD one.
