I was at Wegmans this evening for the first time in more than a week, buying much needed groceries. In the checkout line, the cashier in the lane next to me asked my cashier why she was on so late today. With a smile for me to show she was kidding, she said something about how all these customers just won’t stop buying groceries. The nerve. She said she shouldn’t be surprised today because anytime the forecast mentions snow, the stores are mobbed. I hadn’t been watching the weather, so the possibility of snow was a surprise to me. She checked my basket and told me I’d make it. “Milk, bread, toilet paper…you’re all set.” The other cashier wasn’t so sure. “Did you get any wine?”
Wegmans cashiers have their priorities in order.
