So I’m at CVS today, in no particular rush, but not happy overall to be standing in line. This couple in front of me on line was buying a single tube of toothpaste. When the girl at the register rang up the item, it took over a minute for the woman to hunt through her purse to get the money. I am not joking. One full minute. I wanted to tap her on the shoulder and say, “This might sound crazy, but do you think, maybe, just maybe, you could have your wallet out when you’re being rung up?” I hate to be so impatient, but a little courtesy would go a long way. It certainly should not have been a shock to the person that CVS wanted money in exchange for the toothpaste. It was almost like the customer was taken by surprise when the cashier told her the amount. Just thought I’d share.
