Shopping carts do not belong in the express lane.
I swear these people were too stupid to live. I actually put most of the blame on the woman because she looked like she was a heinous bitch and the husband was just doing whatever he could not to be in public anymore.
They were in the express lane, but they had a shopping cart.
But first, more stupidity.
There is a long line for the express lane. I think there was 8 people in it. The line was VERY obviously turned to the right because of its length. Nevertheless miss 'I'm Too Important to Wait In Line' cuts ahead of three people and just lines up behind the person most directly straight out from the counter. At least 45 seconds of dirty looks got her to go to the back of the line.
Then I stopped to truly examine this situation. There was two of them and they had four items. They were, and I note:
- one small beef roast
- 1 L container of milk
- bag of apples
- bag of indeterminate vegetables
For this they needed a shopping cart. For two of them. Not a hand basket. This was the full, four wheels, can hold $1000 worth of groceries. Four four items and one serious bad attitude.
Why is it we can't exterminate stupid people on sight!?!

Let me just run a scenario by you. Tell me what you think.
For the sake of argument, let's just say we all started driving electric cars tomorrow. No more gasoline/diesel engines on the road anymore. They are all gone.
However our electrical power generation didn't change its complexity at the same time. We still manufactured most of our electricity from coal.
Wouldn't that mean that we were essentially driving coal powered cars?
Think about it.
