More On Lines
This is my plea for compassion. Yes, we are all busy, and yes, lines are annoying. But you can be nice. Be patient with old peeps who count out change. Think of them like they are YOUR grandparents. Unless you don’t like your grandparents, then think of Mother Theresa or someone you admire.
People of all ages can fall on tough times and they too may need to count out change. Be a pal. Stay off their back. They have enough on their plate.
If you are in such a damn hurry consider paying their bill. It costs you a few dollars and both of you get to go home happy. They have the milk or whatever they need and you get to feel like a hero. Do it!
Here’s a few ways to get through the line quicker:
1. If you are doing well cashwise, use dollar bills only. Forget counting out change. Then at the end of each day put all of your change in a jar. At the end of the month deposit it in a bank account...yours, your child’s, or put it in a plea jar (like the ones to help peeps burned out of their homes or with some dreadful disease).
2. Don’t mess with the 12 item or less line. Don’t act like you can’t count to 12. We all know you can. So stop it.
3. Bag you own stuff. If you wanna get really big heartsoul points for Planet Earth, bring your own shopping bags. The cosmic gods will kiss you.
Okay, that’s it, have fun.
R.B.
