Shopping today - crowds of people everywhere, huge queues. Total nightmare tbh.
I was absolutely amazed today at the number of times the cashiers in shops have to shout 'next please, next please, NEXT PLEASE, NEXT PLEEEEEEASE' whilst the person at the front of the queue picks their nails, stares into space, chats to friend....
Everyone else in the queue has heard the cashier despite being further back, silently cursing the stupid person for being so vacant, wanting to shout:
YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR 20 MINS TO GET TO TILL. FOCUS! THEY ARE CALLING FOR YOU!!!!!
Then suddenly, penny drops, they rush forward stopping for a second to check what bargains may be on the shelves by the till, and then struggling to find their bank card/purse. YOU HAVE HAD TWENTY LOOOONG MINUTES TO LOOK FOR YOUR FRIGGING PURSE!
This is why I shouldn't go shopping in November/December.
(Btw, you get EXACTLY the same at traffic lights too.)

If you are at the front of a long queue, keep your bloody ears/eyes open FFS!
