Men vs. Women

A man walks in, grabs a basket, collects 5-7 necessities and heads to the check-out. His form of payment is usually very simple... either cash with exact change, credit, or debit. He doesn't want a receipt, but most of the time he won't tell you- he'll just take it and dump it wherever. Next thing you know, he's out the door before you can even say "thank you!"

A woman walks in, grabs a buggy, prints out coupons at the self-serve kiosk, observes the coupons, stops to get a weekly circular, grabs a wipe to sanitize the entire buggy, and begins her journey. First stop is produce, checking every single tomato until she finds the one she wants. Carefully placing the bananas in the buggy, because the ones she picked are PERFECT. She shops the store in order, aisle 1-14, up and down. She neatly organizes perishables, non-perishables, meat, produce, and squishables in her buggy. Oh, and all of the meat is separated in individual clear baggies with paper towels in them as well. She gets to the check-out line, has a few words with the cashier, something like- "I know I've got my store card but I'm driving my husband's car today and he doesn't have one on his keys... (digs through purse for 2 minutes)" or "Can you bag my colds with the colds and cans with the cans and produce with the produce please?"  (Do I look like someone who would put a can on top of bread?!) Finally, all of her items are on the belt- ready to go! BUT WAIT! She has coupons... that she has misplaced. She digs, and digs for them. The coupons surface, now we can start scanning! I tell her the total... "but, did you scan all of my coupons?" Umm, you just witnessed the whole thing, live and up close. She argues with the cashier for 5 minutes about the price because it is just not right. Finally the cashier convinces her that it is right, she begins to pay. She pays with a check (because it takes the longest amount of time... duh). She asks if she needs to fill out the check, cashier explains that it is not necessary because she will be giving the check back to her. She says she will fill out the check anyway because she has already started... 2 minutes later, the check is being processed. She signs the slip- takes the receipt. She studies the receipt for (what seems like) hours until she leaves. She needs help out to her car. She is full of drama. She is a woman.
