Oh NO YOU DIDN'T Wegmans!

While Northern VA is a beautiful area to live in, with a TON of interesting and fun things to do, we've quickly learned that it's pretty much an 80/20 split of rude to kind people.  However, Wegmans* was always a friendly escape.  A safe haven we could visit to feel at home for a short while.  Well, it happened - Wegmans* (in Fairfax) let us down.  

After tutoring yesterday, I stopped into Wegmans* to pick up a few things.  I left all of our reusable bags in the car, and because I have a very difficult time using plastic, I bought another bag at the register (this happens on about 75% of grocery store trips).  In the time it took me to snag the new bag from the hook and hand it to the cashier, she had already placed the milk and butter in a plastic bag.  Here's the conversation that went down thereafter:

Jaime (in a kind, apologetic tone):  "Oh, I actually have this here, I was hoping to buy and use."

Bitch cashier with a stink look on her 17 year old face and super attitude tone:  "Ugh, so do you want me to re-bag ALL of this?!"

Jaime (realizing her uncalled for attitude and fed up with the NOVA rudeness):  "Oh, you mean those 2 small items?  Yes, I would actually like those to go in the reusable bag.  I'd like everything to go in the reusable bag.  That's why I'm buying it." 

Bitch cashier with a stink look on her 17 year old face and super attitude body language:  silent...but she did squish my Kleenex box.  I know this because both Kleenex boxes were in perfect form prior to the bagging incident.  I'm very particular about my Kleenex boxes, ask Wes.  Furthermore, back in my cashier days, if I encountered a super-rude customer, I would usually secretly squish a tomato while placing it, ever so gently, into the bag.  :)  Just doing my part to ensure karma.  So, the point is, I'm onto her little tricks. 

*Wegmans is the BEST grocery store in the entire world.  We still love Wegmans.  Wegmans, Wegmans, Wegmans!
