Last Sunday, August the 23rd, I had to
run over to a local Country Mart for a few grocery items. The store
was only lightly populated with customers, mostly church attendees by
the looks of how they were dressed. Me? I was less fashionable
wearing scruffy jeans and an old T-shirt that had seen better days.
And, while I am religious, I just don't like to make a public show of
it...
Anyway, everything when swimmingly
until I approached the checkout counter. I picked lane 3, a definite
bad call as look back on it! The white woman at the register was the
absolute epitome of all things slow. If some university were to give
out a diploma for slowness, this woman would easily rate a PhD! Every
motion she made was like watching some slow mo on the Tube, except
that this was real like. And speaking of which, I felt mine passing
before my eyes as I watched her work. It was almost like she was on
break!
Seriously, the management folks at the
Forsyth MO CM need to light a fire under their personnel. Maybe if
the were to pay them a little more over the minimum wage....
