go to the grocery store. place is PACKED. get my shopping done and get into line behind one of the FIVE lanes open :eyes: .
wait. wait. wait. wait.
FINALLY get up to the register. cashier says:
"Are you planning on paying with cash?" Me: "No. Debit card." Her: "I'm sorry all of our computer lines are down. We can only take cash or checks." Me: "Your kidding! How long have they been down?" Her: "Since about 3 o'clock this afternoon" Me: "Do you THINK you could have put some SIGNS UP??" Her: "We didn't think about that" Me: "Do you REALIZE how crowded this store is right now?" Her: "Do you want me to ring your items through and hold them while you go to the bank?" :eyes: (Nearest ATM is about 1/2 mile away and its rush hour (no there isn't one in the store) Me: "No. I'm leaving. I suggest you put up some signs as a common courtesy to your customers though."
