Mean People

Every now and then we all meet someone who appears to be the biggest a-hole on the planet.  About a week ago, I met one of these people at the grocery store (I must mention I was not at my usual store).  I was checking out in line at the grocery store and I asked the teenage cashier if I had to lift the 12-packs of pop and the 24-pack of bottled water onto the checkout counter.  He told me yes that they had to be moved in order to be scanned.  Since I had been lifting a lot that day, I politely informed him that I was pregnant and asked him if he would mind helping me.  His response..."You got them onto the cart, you can get them onto the check-out counter'!!!!  What a jerk.  So I proceeded to lug everything out of the cart and pay.  Then I noticed he wasn't bagging my groceries and I politely asked him for paper bags.  He informs me that I am in the "you bag it" lane and that I should read the sign.  So I bag my groceries and notice that no one is in line behind me and the baggers in the 2 adjacent "we bag it" lanes have no customers.  One older bagger finally offers to help me and puts my bread in a bag....thanks for that.  Needless to say, I will not be shopping in that store again.
