At sams club today I had 4 of the 6 kids including the 2yo. Our size family always requires at least 2 carts. We get to the check out and there are the same amount of people in just about every line. My ds and I decided to wait in two separate lines then whichever moved quicker the other person would get in that quicker line. We also do this at the regular grocery store never have a problem. So after a few minutes my sons line moved and he was next so I pushed my cart in front of him scanning my card then my items. Some guy behind him starts making a scene. At the same time my 2 yo is shrieking a happy shriek but still annoying which is another reason we needed to check out fast! I’m ignoring the man and continue quickly scanning my items. He’s going off telling my kids “your mom is doing something bad right now she shouldn’t be doing what she did”. My kids are confused because they clearly see their mom scanning the groceries we just picked out which isn’t a crime. Meanwhile the original line I was in is completely gone and he continued to rant and even went over to 3 front end employees which I deal with on a regular basis and am very friendly with as I shop here often for my big family. One gentleman I tip when I’m alone and he helps me bring my extra cart to my car. The employees just let the man speak and did nothing to me. He goes to check out with his 3 items grumbling about me the whole time.
. He leaves and I’m about to scan my coupons & pay. Well the three employees came over apologizing for his behavior and said that technically since I had 4 kids with me I could have had a kid stand in each line and there’s still nothing wrong with our entire order checking out at whichever register became available first. The guy was wearing riding boots and motorcycle gear so I’m guessing he had some compartment to put his grapes & other 2 small items in. An employee walked out with us to be sure he wouldn’t harass me in the parking lot. So do you try to save time in lines? If you saw someone do what we do would you be pissed off?
