The local Home Depot is usually a zoo on Saturdays when the weather is nice - yours probably is too. The routine is to line up down the wide middle isle and wait for a cashier to free up. Invariably, someone doesn't know the drill and will just waltz up into what seems like a really short line, not realizing there are 20 people already in the queue behind them.

I was waiting in said line yesterday when I saw an older woman dash up to a cashier right as the previous customer was picking up his bag. She only had one small item. The cashier tried to explain that the line was "back there" but the lady did her best я не говорю по английски and started getting her wallet out, so the cashier relented and grabber her item to scan it. That's when the lady gave the signal to whom I assume was her son, who came rushin' up (no pun intended - or was it?) with a huge cart full of stuff.

The hustle was beautifully executed, which makes me believe this wasn't their first rodeo. I was in awe of the choreography, while at the same time I wanted to beat them both over the head with someone heavy but easily cleanable.
