Pushka just reading your post with all the "cool" English jargon for grocery shopping was a definite treat!!

Not to take away from SF's predicament I wanted to share what happened to me today at work. I have a co-worker who has a serious professionalism problem. She started swearing at me today because of something that someone told her I said about her performance. First she is only 19 so I that explains alot but I asked her to be a little more professional and she laid into me again. I guess it is too much to ask her to actually do her job so that I don't have to do it for her.
The clerk you mentioned reminded me of the type of person that my coworker is. She would probably have handled your situation the same way. It is so said that people treat other people so shabbily.
