I ran into an old friend at the grocery store the other day. It was nice to catch up with her. A few years ago, her elderly mom passed away and she had to deal with selling the mom's house and another family property. Now she is a lot more relaxed and quite free of responsibility as an only child. The cashier was upset with me for coming into her lane as I had a lot more than 8 items. The thing is there were no other cashiers open at the time. She didn't believe me. I apologized for causing her this trouble and told her she was very quick checking me through. She became very pleasant and told me she had got into trouble for doing this before and that was the reason she didn't like to do it. All is well that ends well (whew, I tend to avoid confrontations how about you?)
They were selling these USB chargers at Costco on my last visit for about $25. I didn't get them, but it's interesting how USBs are becoming a part of daily life. This package includes a charger to go, that will just plug into any outlet. It also incorporates a charger into an electrical outlet switch. I thought this was interesting.

I don't shop anymore, but David has had heated arguments with the cashier when she rings up the wrong price. He manages to get his way though.
Good for you for keeping pleasant and stating your case. I'm glad you didn't let it spoil your day.
It's always good to stay friendly and state your case, but not always easy! Valerie
By being pleasant, you managed to turn her mood around, too.
if I didn't have an adapter already, it would be neat to have.
Thanks for your supportive comments everyone!
I think she did the wrong thing by showing her frustration to you. As someone who has worked retail and restaurant, we are told never to always smile at the customer :)
