Why do women in the 'check out line' wait....

So I go to Target to buy a cheap extension cord for the outside porch Christmas lights and some dog treats for the big dog.

Walk up to the check out line behind a lady who already has her stuff on the conveyor and looks like the clerk only has a dozen items left to scan.

Clerk finished scanning. Then gives the lady the total. Lady waits until after getting her total before opening her purse to dig out the credit card. What? Did you think they were going to give it to you for free? Swipes the card. Clerk hits a few keys. Lady then says she MIGHT have a coupon.

WTF :hammer:

The clerk has to void the transaction to apply a frickin 50-cent coupon on a $60+ transaction.

Re-run the card, which was already back in the closed purse!!!

Seriously, tell your wives, daughters, nieces, girlfriends/significant others, etc to open their frikin purse, pull out the wad of cash/plastic/ebt card/etc BEFORE the clerk is already done. NO NEED TO IMPRISON ALL THE OTHER SHOPPERS IN THE LINE BEHIND YOU while you fumble around cluelessly. There will be a special place in hell for ladies like these if they don't get a clue that they are holding up the line for no reason at all.
 
Went through similar shit today trying to buy a simple 2015 planner for $7.99. #1, fecking Kmart had a "generous" 3 cashiers in their fecking SuperStore...15 checkout line and three goddamn cashiers. Plus, I chose the line with a 99 year-old welfare recipient using coupons and a fecking EBT card, and the slowest geriatric, hard of hearing male cashier. She pulled out the coupons AFTER he rang up her shit. Grrrrrrr...

Behind her was a hair-lip woman with 3 items, a fecking coupon, and wanted to have "Geriatric George" check how much was on her reward card ($1.28), which she then applied to her three items and the $1 off coupon. Her balance was $4.43, which she also used a goddamn welfare card to pay for it. Did I mention that the register tape got fouled with each transaction, and that Geriatric George took at least 2-3 minutes to re-thread the tape each time?

By the time I got checked out it was almost 25 minutes, and I was so pissed off I'll probably never set foot in another Kmart.

I feel your pain.
 
I hate that, but another one they seem to do is wait until it is all done and then go for the checkbook. Nothing is written out before hand and then they try to figure out how to deduct the amount before giving the clerk the god damn check. And then they can't find their driver's license when asked for it. ARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
 
i have seen both guys & women in line taking their dear 'ol time-- & others' time, as well. i'm a woman, tho; & i keep my chit organized & ready to be tossed onto a conveyer. strategically. freezer items here, meat/seafood here, pop & pantry items here, pet items there, cleaning items there-- etcetera. like items alike- then they have not gotta take time sorting stuff fer u, & have stuff together to put away quickly & sans sorting, too.. they already have stuff that can be packed together. (i'll find meat & veggies packed together, anyhow, usually). i place them that way before i get into a line, though, so there is not fussing/mussing once i reach a an open 1. it's already in order, & waiting to be bought.
get my $$ together well before entering a store, have my coupons already set on their item before they scan my stuff, so that cashier can see that i've got one before ringing my item in, keep my store awards card in wait, too, & i lend a few to get my groceries into grocery sacks. it's not women that create a problem. it's both slow-poke, inconsiderate folks, as well as employees that have none too much to attend to in their lives than being slowpoke/incompetent jagovs. i (grocery) shop very often, & i see that oh, too often.
further flustering, is when you hafta explain to a cashier how to use their own equipment. then they hafta fetch a fellow employee, half the time. geesh.
