This post is inspired by my sweet FB friend, Karen Lowman, who has often and ably posted, with my unqualified approval, about the evils of driving slow in the fast lane on the Interstate. My post, however, concerns a different “fast lane”, namely, that at the supermarket. And what I feel compelled to say is this: if you have more than the number of items allowed for the fast lane; if you have coupon after coupon after coupon that you wish to be applied to your purchases (don’t misunderstand me: I’m okay with coupons, but when I have more than one or two, I have the decency to use a “slow” lane, so as not to inconvenience my fellow shoppers); if you need something special from the “customer service center” that will require your cashier to leave his post to fetch it for you, such as cigarettes, a high-end Cognac, or a lottery ticket; if you plan to use a debit card for which you’ve selected a 14-digit PIN that includes hieroglyphics that must be handwritten on the card scanner . . ., then, please, for goodness sake, move to a “slow” lane. Thank you very much.
