Speedy Checkout [Annoying Things]

In today's Annoying Things blog post, I will be covering the subject of a lovely thing called the "Speedy checkout."

Yeahhhh...They're never speedy.

I can almost guarantee it.

Especially if you're late for a college class. 
Then they'll be realllllly sloooow, to make you suffer in agony.

Take an example from the other day.

I stopped at Wal-Mart (that was my first mistake), to pick up a few things on my way to class.

 I power-walked through the store, and hoped that I could find everything okay.

I had three items that I was going to buy, and 25 minutes to get to class. There were only three people in the line for the "speedy checkout," so I said to myself, "Self, the speedy checkout will probably get you to class on time, go for it."

That was my second mistake.

I stood in the "speedy checkout" line for almost 10 MINUTES.

It took me 20 minutes to get to class, so I was almost 15 minutes late.

Now I have a strong dislike for "speedy checkouts."*


How do you feel about speedy checkouts?

*If you are a cashier at a "speedy checkout," I promise that I'm not trying to be rude or insult you, I'm just saying that sometimes speedy checkouts aren't speedy, which annoys me. If you are offended, I am very sorry. :)
