As the woman starts unloading her cart onto the checkout stand, the cashier calmly asks, “Which ten items would you like, ma’am?” I couldn’t help but smirk, knowing what was about to happen.

Confused, the woman stops and says, “What?” Clearly, she hadn’t been paying attention to the sign above the lane that clearly stated “Ten Items or Less” in both English and Spanish.

Without skipping a beat, the cashier holds up both hands, showing all ten fingers, and points to the sign above. She was determined to make her point.

The woman’s face turns red with embarrassment as she realizes her mistake. But instead of admitting defeat, she defiantly says, “I want all of this!”

Now, if you thought the cashier would just give in, you’re mistaken. With unwavering patience, she replies, “Ma’am, I’m sorry. As I said, this is a ten items or less line. Please choose the ten items you’d like to purchase today.”

That’s when things took an unexpected turn. Frustrated and enraged, the woman lets out a noise that could rival one of those screaming goats you see on the internet. In a fit of anger, she shoves her still overflowing cart as hard as she could, nearly hitting a little old man sitting on a nearby bench.

As she storms out of the store, she gives everyone who was laughing at her the finger and shouts, “F*** you!” Well, you can imagine the laughter that erupted throughout the store after that spectacle.

As for me, I couldn’t resist showing my appreciation for the cashier’s quick wit and composure. I purchased my items and decided to tip the cashier $20. It was the best improv comedy moment I had seen in years. Truly priceless!

Remember folks, when it comes to obeying the rules of the express lane, nobody is above them – not even if your cart is overflowing.
