Grocery shopping in NYC is a time-consuming experience. It constitutes of navigating through flocks of people in the store to find the items on your list, only to return to the entrance of the store to wait on a very, very long line to pay.
Naturally, everyone slowly grows inpatient while waiting, despite the employees' promise that "the end is near."
I have noticed that shoppers often have misaligned views of how fast the line is moving.
Example:
I am standing in line at Trader Joe's.
I take one step forward.
I feel a jabbing in my back as the person behind me pushes her shopping cart into my back.
It happens again. And again.
For every foot I move forward, she moves three. For some reason, she thinks that pushing her cart into my backside will accelerate the process.
Moral:
It did not. It annoyed me...and slightly bruised my tailbone.
Let's all try to be a little more patient. And limit the capacity to be annoying to just talking excessively loudly on your cell phone about your hatred for Citi Bikes.
