Always the Case

I don't know what it is about me but I have the worst luck when it comes to picking checkout lines. If I am in what appears to be the shortest line there is usually a "special" situation with the person in front of me. It could be that the customer is untrustworthy and has to double check the 80 item receipt after checking out and then disputing the can of tomatoes that rang up as $3.99 and not the $3.98 that is on the sticker. I'm also often behind a check writer. I don't understand why you can't already have the check made out--minus the total--while being checked out. Tonight I was behind the girl who left her credit card in her car and had to send her friend out to get it. Does that ever happen to you?
