On a recent venture to the supermarket, she picked up a 3-pound bag of yellow onions, a jar of medium salsa and a bright green lime.
After waiting a few minutes in the 18 items or less line behind a rather vocal lady with a comment for each of her 18 items, the checker begins ringing up the girl's three things. The onions and salsa go by without a hitch, but the lime lacked a label. The checker looks at the lime, looks at her and asks, "This is a lemon, right?"
"No, it's a lime."

liked the story, but you don't get to say "I."
good point.
...
fixed.
I, too, have had this experience. You are in a hurry and you get in a line that seems to be the fastest one, but ends up being the slowest because the checker wants to tell you her life story. All you want to do is buy your damn lemon and leave. I thought your story was true to the experience and funny.
I could write 5000 pages of things I have seen in a grocery store.
Next time, you should come through my line. I can tell the difference between a lemon and a lime and I don't feel the need to engage in useless conversation with customers. I would've had you out the door in three minutes or less.
It's things like this that just give you complete confidence on where the future of this nation is heading. Gotta love the service industry...
