Aunt Bob has been trying to avoid the dreaded Christmas shopping crowd. The problem with that is I now have to go to the grocery because the fridge is empty. So off to Wal Mart and Meijer I went.
What a frightening experience that was!
I encountered the usual traffic and crowded parking lots, and expected crowds of people in the stores. But not at anytime did I see the Christmas spirit in anyone.
No smiles or kind nods. Everyone walking around like they were being beaten.
People pushing and shoving, and just out right rude.
I was in the self check out line and the lady in front of me actually started yelling at the man in front of her because he was bagging too slowly. Then she proceeded to yell at the attendant because the computer wouldn't take her coupon. I secretly celebrated when the attendant told her her coupon was expired.
Now all the kids are out of school and the parents are shopping with kids in tow. Oh how awful that is. I think there should be a leash law for kids under 12. The parents just let them run wild and do whatever they want.
I am a nice person by nature, but find myself wanting to go off on these rude people. I bite my tongue and move on. It probably would do no good anyway.
I have to go back out in the chaos today. I vow to go out of my way to be nice to people. I promise not to call anyone "Bitch" even if they are. Lord help me for I am weak.
I'll let you know how it goes.
