That is one of my biggest snob acts too! If you are buying something and paying by check get it together. When I wrote checks for groceries I was always ready! And BTW, don't you just HATE the people who enter the check in the register and balance their accounts while you are waiting?
>>However, one of my biggest pet peeves is being behind someone at the grocery store who waits until the casher rings up a total on her order. Then, she decides that she's going to write a check and starts digging in her purse for that, etc. (Doesn't have to be a large order where you think maybe she doesn't have the cash)I want to say, "You knew you were going to write a check before you got here! Why didn't you start after you put your items on the belt!" (It won't be like she was watching the scanner for mistakes....more likely she was staring around aimlessly.) So far, I've not done that but contented myself with sharing rolled-eyes with the person behind me. The other day it took a woman twelve minutes to find her checkbook, write the check, find her ID,and get her bill paid. I'm not kidding!! I timed it. The next checker took care of six customers while this was going on!
>>(I didn't move lanes because I'd already put my stuff on the counter and a guy was behind me. We shared grimaces.) Grrrrr
