Express Lane and Cash Only Mean JUST THAT!!
So you walk into the grocery store do your quick shopping and get to the check out counter. You know the one with the HUGE sign that says 15 items and CASH ONLY!!
This lady in front of me puts up an almost full basket of groceries holding up the line. Several people start the heavy sighing and shifting their items. She looks around and notices that people are getting agitated. Then the crowning jewel. Can you see it coming??!??
CAN I WRITE A CHECK FOR THIS? I thought the lady behind me was going to explode. The poor checker looks back at the line that is now 7 people deep. I felt so sorry for that guy. He said yes as long as the information is correct. This does it. The lady behind me looses it. She says very loudly while the lady is writing the check. "Cash only! Can you not read the freeking sign?!?!!" To which the lady reals on me because she didn't see who said it and thought it was me. She fires back with you don't have to be so rude while pointing her finger and shaking her head and then says....."some people."
Now up to this point I've been quite but that did it. I informed her quite loudly that I am not the one who said it and further more maybe if she had studied in her remedial reading classes she could see the 5 foot sign above her head that said quite clearly that it was a cash only EXPRESS lane and that frankly she should be made to rebuggy up all her items and take them over to a line that wasn't express!!!!! 
PMS and Hormones are a wonderful thing 
But really how hard is it to see the sign and follow the rules?

Not hard at all. Unless you're the one who didn't read it and follow them.

Again... you were FAR nicer than I would have been.
That lady wouldn't have dared to shop in that store again after I was through with her

I woulda stopped her before she unloaded. Sometimes though people get called over because the line is empty at the time.

Ahhh but you see she was a tricky one. She got there right before we all did and was already unloading when we arrived. She was in mid unload so what's a person to do?
Ming ~ I would be curious to know what you would have said so I can use it next time.

Ah... what a dumb idiot. One wonders why some people are such morons that can't read signs two inches from their faces.

True, true. Worse yet the sign saying Cash Only was 4 ft tall and about 2 ft wide. A bit hard to miss if you ask me.

You too will be old one day. Old people's brain's tend not to work as well and they get easily confused. This is why they are targets for cons so often.

I have often thought that was at least partially because they didn't exercise their minds enough

I would have walked right up next to her... and in a loud voice...
MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE... People... Listen Up.
Right here standing next to me is the most selfish person you will ever meet. Take a good look folks, so you can identify others like her.
She either is stupid and can't read, or she thinks that she is more important than you are, and that she shouldn't have to wait in a long line like you do.
I'd like to take a vote... How many people think she is just plain stupid and can't read... come on now, raise your hands.
Now... How many people just think she is a selfish little battle ax...
Come on... let's see those hands...
So remember folks... the next time you see a woman that looks like this... you will know.
Thankyou for your time... carry on...

Well that's different entirely. You shoulda followed her out to the parking lot and slashed her tires.

Too bad you weren't there... it got a great reception by the other shoppers. I had them cheering and laughing at the lady I was making fun of. I don't think that lady has ever come back to that store again since

No she couldn't. Shouting isn't sueable . . . except in California maybe.
