Market Mishap

I am trying to help Jenny as much as she'll let me with the baby shower. We were talking food/drinks and I told her that VONS was having their awesome sale of buy two 12 packs and 3 12 packs free.

Since there is a VONS by my work, I told her I would stop by after work and get the sodas. I was going to get some for our house too. I spent probably 15-20 minutes picking out sodas for the shower and for our house. I had fifteen 12 packs and hopped in the express check out. I made sure all the bar codes were at the top and all facing the same way so it would be an easy check out.

When I got in line, which I took my time getting there (obviously, pushing fifteen 12 packs around a store, and having to pee, I wasn't Speedy Gonzales.) Also, I try to be pretty considerate and let others go ahead of me that got there right after me or that have like 2 things. But, I had been waiting in line, if I had unpacked every 12 pack, there still wouldn't have been anyone in line.

The lady in front of me finally left and as I started explaining to the cashier how I had everything organized, that's when others started getting in line. She told me to wheel the cart around to her side and that would be easier for me and her. As I'm pushing the cart around the check-out stand, the guy about my age behind me says in a sarcastic, rudehole kind of way, "Wow, sure looks like you'll have enough soda to last the rest of the year." And, as I glared back at him I said, "oh! Looks like you have enough toilet paper to last you the rest of the week, A--hole!"

Ok, really, I didn't say that, I said, "Ya, well, maybe if I wasn't bringing most of this to my sister's for my baby shower, it would last me a pretty long time." But, my question is, why is it any of his business?! If he was trying to start a conversation, weather is a good one. NCAA would even do. Furthermore, I wasn't doing anything wrong. The limit for the express check-out was 15. I had 15 items. If he hadn't taken so long picking out 2 packages of 24 rolls of TP, maybe he'd have beat me to the line and he wouldn't have to wait.

Sorry, I'm just a little bugged.
