The way the cashier cut him off at the knees, he must have been
making quite a fuss. It just wasn't necessary, and I don't know
where he came from that he thought he had a legal right to an
express lane. Too bad for him, he should have learned more
patience somewhere along the line instead of raising his blood
pressure over nothing. I didn't do anything wrong, so I didn't
really care. I just remember him looking embarrassed when I
turned around to see what was going on.

Besides, if there are people in a line, and a cashier standing
there with nothing to do, no customers, what kind of business
wouldn't say they should take care of a paying customer. I'm
a second class citizen to this entitlement guy? Someone should
be paid to stand there waiting to be blessed with his presence?
