a self check out machine started to malfunction and speak only Spanish. on the queue waiting were this oriental couple, an american couple, and a mexican family.
the oriental guys got offended and refused to use the machine.
the cashier there, a friend of mine apologized and was battling with the machine to get it to speak and write English, but it was freezing up.
the oriental and american guys walked away angry to a cashier register checkout and while this cashier, a lady in her 60's ws tryn to get the machine straightened out, the boy with the mexicanfamily flipped and threw the broom he had at her!!!
the lady dodged it and the whole front desk frooze. luckily we have this mexican worker who stepped up and helped calm frayed nerves.
the lady cashier almost called security cos she was scared of being hit by either of the customers.
so i ask, why wud someone throw a broom at an ordinary cashier 4 no fault of hers?
arent americans generous enof to have 2 languages?

Because people are rude. SH** happens. Machines break down. People are just used to things being done instantly and get impatient. Some people even get upset about having to wait 30 sec for the microwave. People need to teach their kids to be patient. If that was MY son that threw the broom I would have spanked him right their in the middle of the store. That type of behavior should NEVER be tolerated.

Okay if you are that practically being 18 you do not must fear approximately "the authoritative figures" getting you although your boyfriend is older. Just determine your state legislation.. (Shockingly I discovered there is a four 12 months rule in Missouri in which I am, in which an 18 12 months historical can LEGALLY be with any person as younger as 15 years historical) .. Anyway the morning after capsule more commonly tousled your menstrual cycle. You will have to NEVER take that other thing than TWICE a 12 months, btw. It can quite mess you up. I totally endorse you cross to Planned Parenthood and get began at the capsule. It's so much more secure.

Geez... I can't believe who people can be. It wasn't anyones fault that the machine malfunctioned. It happens, computers aren't perfect.
I would have said oh well, and either found another machine or tried to figure it out. It's not like it would be too difficult. I'm sure it works the exact same way whether it's in English or Spanish.
People are so ignorant!

the mexican kid threw the broom?? why was he mad? you would think they would be okay with the machine speaking spanish!!! America bends over and takes it in the @ss to cater to a spanish speaking population by programming machines, posting signs and offering phone support in spanish, and it still somehow pisses them off!!!

First learn English...capitalization, punctuation,verb tense, spelling...
self-check [hyphenated] not check out ,either -the 'out 'is redundant,like ATM machine..think about it.
Asian [not Oriental]
was [not ws]
trying[not tryn]
froze [not frooze]
because [not cos]
would [not wud]
aren't [note the apostrophe]

The kid is an idiot. It's his frustration coming out b/c he doesn't understand english, therefore, we owe him., right?
