I don't know whether or not I should be happy that I was not the only
one. It is a pretty sad state of affairs when we have to share our
space with people who are so ignorant that they would be putting their
stuff on a moving conveyor while the person ahead is still emptying
their card. It's hard to imagine that they can be so out of touch with
the world around them that they would not see that you had not finished.
