(1,014 posts)the people ahead of them in line are paying with. The only time I ever notice how someone is paying is when:
A) it's someone writing a check who decides to wait until the entire order is rung up (and they haven't had anything else to do but stand there) to begin hunting through their purse for the check book. Then they s l o w l y write the check, then of course they have to produce ID, which takes another 100 years, then of course the register runs out of paper (because Murphy is a bitch who hates us all), so the cashier has to turn on his/her flashing light thingy....
B) it's someone paying with exact change, and again, they've had nothing to do but stand there the entire time the order is rung up but waited until the last second to start hunting and pecking for pennies in their coin purse, and then they argue with the cashier about the cost of some item and have to have the entire order voided and start all over again, or worse, do a price check...both of which require the cashier to turn on his/her flashing light thingy...
Paying with food stamps? Huh? I never even notice.
