Bitchfest #1- Rolled change vs. Minimum wage

So the other day a friend mentioned something she witnessed at the grocery store. She was behind a girl in line who was paying for diapers with rolled up change. The girl was in scrubs and had an id badge with her nurse status and name on it. Well, as she was paying with change, clearly embarrassed, because well, it isn't the coolest thing to do, the cashier was a total asshole about it. Making a big deal about what a LARGE amount of change it was (around $9.00) and how she has never seen so much, blahblahblah. Are you kidding me?! A cashier is belittling a nurse for paying in change, purchasing diapers no less, to take care of her child. What is wrong with people? Most cashiers don't even do a double take when a plastic foody card gets swiped for some lobsters, but paying in rolled change for a babies necessity is an issue...what a piece of shit. Not only that but, the irony is not lost on me that it's a cashier acting all high & mighty over this nurse! This cashier was more than likely a high school kid who had no idea what life beyond their bedroom at their parents house is like. It may not be so hard for many people, but that asshole cashier could at least possess the compassion to not be an uppity twaffle over someone else's hardships. At least their is nobility in doing what it takes to take care of your child, being humble and having a smidgen of embarrassment over paying in change. It's far better than those people who swipe their state issued grocery allowance all proud as a state funded peacock. That is a real issue, not some ignorant cashier mumbling about how she will fit alllll that change in her drawer. I WISH that I knew what her name was. I would have no problem typing it in right here and giving her self-righteous uppity self a taste of her own well deserved bullshit.

  1. Exactly what is wrong with today's society!

    1) There are still people out there who go to work, work hard (wether it be home, office, hospital, garage etc etc) who can budget their funds down to even their roll of change to make ends meet - this person is the one who deserves the help but is probably far to proud to take the help, the person at the cashier counter should have thanked her as she wasnt using a portion of their paycheck to pay for her childs needs.

    2) There are still douchey people in this world including the cashier who had the balls to even say anything. She should be Punched in the Mouth as she is probably the beneficiary of not only the cashier paycheck but the state funded grocery allowance and probably is one of those proud peacocks <~~~~~~disgrace
