New York Minute 186 - Checkout Line

Last evening, I got stuck in a long checkout line at the grocery store. Only one register was open, and there were no self-checkout stations. Twelve people were ahead of me when I joined the queue.


The lady in front of me was wearing a mask, but she had a huge dog with her, and the dog was panting vigorously. The lady standing directly behind me (and way too close) was talking non-stop on her phone and NOT wearing a mask.


I was in line for ten minutes getting blasted by dog breath from the front and unfiltered phone breath from behind.


How can people can be so inconsiderate during a deadly pandemic? I would have left the store and come back later if a storm hadn’t been approaching.
