The Supermarket, The Old Lady In Front of You, and The Nickel


How many times have you been in line at the supermarket , frustrated because some old woman ahead of you is arguing about a nickel on the bill? OMG it makes me angry. I can't help it. I try to think how sad it must be to need that nickel so badly. In fact, I've been there myself.

But, my patience being what it is (or isn't) it still drives me mad. So, here's a confession for you. A few years ago, maybe seven or eight... I did it. I just took out a dollar and gave it to the cashier and said "here, just keep the change, will you go now please?"

So there you go. I too have been a jerk at least once. Today I'll be more forgiving of the IT jerk I have to deal with.

/sigh...
