Nah, it’s okay.

We tried to go to Congdon’s for breakfast, but they were closed.

Then we tried The Egg and I, but the line was out the door, and some of us have difficulty waiting.

Finally, we went to The Omelette Factory, and we got their last table without any wait at all. Unfortunately, although the food was quite good, it was very expensive and they mixed up our toast. Oh, and my coffee.

Then we went to the 10,000 Gifts store, which we thought the kids might like. But I think I liked it more than anyone else.

After that, we stopped at Hannaford for some miscellaneous items. The kids argued over who got to drive the shopping cart, nearly running over no fewer than three other shoppers before I had to assertively take over. We got in line at the self-checkout and as we were about to approach a register, this surly employee came from seemingly nowhere and barked, “I was in front you!” And pushed ahead of Desmond.

“Sorry,” I said through clenched teeth, “I thought you worked here.”

How was I supposed to know she was in line and not helping customers? She was not young, and she should’ve known better than to be rude to customers.

I don’t care if she was off the clock. There is no excuse for rudeness. Especially in retail customer service. And yes, I know how much she makes. There is no excuse.

Anyway, that’s all I’m going to say about Rude Lady from Hannaford. I’m on vacation!

I know I know. Look how much time I wasted on this negativity. I should be enjoying myself.

Alright, yes. But sometimes I have to get a thing out of my system before I can relax again. Now it’s gone, yay! I can go about my monkey business once more.
