Go to Hell, all of you!! I will do whatever the FU@$ I want and complain about if if I want to - It's my Party! And for the record, I'm a baby boomer, not a millennial. I also voted for Trump - how's that? And yes, she's a casher, maybe I am one too. Because of you, I'm going back to that store tonight and I'm gonna really be rude!

I'm not quite sure what you mean here. You presented a situation and asked if you were being rude. I said you were. Now you are doubling down on the PPOT version of "do these pants make me look fat?"
They do.
I don't think you are reading me quite correctly, my mistake for not being more clear. My life philosophy is to actively look for ways to make the life of the person next to me a little better, mostly in small ways. Family, friend, stranger, all the same to me. Ask Jessica at the Longhorn Steakhouse, she'll confirm. So when you asked if you were being rude, I set about to help both you and this poor cashier you so rudely accosted.
First, while you had an inkling that you were rude, you weren't quite sure. Hence the post. I confirmed that it was a dick move so instantly I'm being helpful. The next time you are in this situation you can think back to this thread and ask yourself, "does this person deserve my wrath especially since they have nothing to do with the root cause of my hostility?" You can ponder that for a moment and hopefully come to a proper conclusion. But don't think too long because other people are waiting in line. Let's try to be considerate of them.
From here it could have gone one of two ways. 1. You realize you were a dick and posted that you were going to go apologize to the cashier. That would make both your life and hers a little better. 2. You double down on being a dick.
Clearly you chose the latter. Being an old guy with the mindset of a millennial, I am not surprised.
But don't lose hope, there is still time to change. You can go back and apologize. Maybe get a chicken and some Walkerswood. After paying, give it to her and say something like, I'm sorry for being a jerk. She will laugh heartily and tell all her friends about this awesome guy who saw the error of his ways and gave her some jerk chicken, some assembly required.
Good luck and let us know how it goes.
