A teenage brother and sister act walk around and around at our VAST assortment of snacks and drinks that are made available here (yep...sarcasm, there's not). After pursuing both sides of cabinets for the last 6 1/2 minutes and discussing in detail. They finally decide on a 1 litre bottle of store water and a bag of Combos Pretzel & Cheese snack that's one of those sizes that really serves one but says there are 3.5 servings. They walk to my window...nope, wait...they take slow lumbering turtle steps in the direction of my window while simultaneously type/texting. After they finally made it to the window (of course with a few stops during their brisk 10 feet allowing them continue texting) they place their reluctant choices on the kiosk shelf in front of the window. They continue texting, I ask over the intercom what I can help with and I get a small upward glance from the girl and NO response from the boy.....they keep texting................and texting............I finally said,
"I can ring you up if you two hold what you want so I can scan it. Would you like me to do that?"
The boy looks up at me kinda of shitty the sister is still plugging away and hikes the bottle of water up to the window for me to scan. I then expected the Combos to be the next thing and I'll be damned if he didn't go right back to texting!
I said, "OK, is this being rung separately?"
The boy then smacks his sister in her shoulder and tells her, "pay attention or I'm telling Mom"
The girl then releases her gaze from her phone long enough to roll her eyes and sigh heavily and announce "you know what!? Do whatever the fuck you want Tommy!"
The girl storms off and the boy shakes his head with a grin and yep you guessed it...he responds to a text. I ask again for the Combos and he finally obliges me so I can give him a total. I tell him what it's going to be and he looks up at me and says "what?" (You've got to be fucking kidding me?)...I tell him the total again and he says to me...after all this decision making and the time it took to get this far....
"hang on, let me go get some money"
Wow....maddening, just fucking maddening...sigh, smh
