My favorite...
I was on line at the supermarket putting all of my WIC items on the counter. I didn't realize the guy at the register was ringing up my order already. He put it all on one bill. So we had to void the entire order so he could do each check separately.
They lady behind me had a very active two year old and an infant in her cart. She stayed there for a minute becuase she already unloaded her cart.
The kid at the register had never done a WIC order before so he needed his managers help. And so we waited.
Meanwhile, the lady behind me was yelling at her two year old for touching the counter (how aweful of that kid to TOUCH the counter!). The mom wasa getting frustrated and finally started throwing her stuff back in the cart...hitting her daughter with pepperoni and cheese. Before she left the line she said in a very angry tone " I can't believe that this has to take so long because this lady is trying to cash her WIC checks with her Mavado watch and designer clothes on!"
Now I know I would have been a bigger person if I had said nothing at all, but I couldn't let this lady off that easy (especially since she was so mean to her daughter), so I said, " Actually, these checks are for my foster daughter who also wears designer clothes. I'm sure she would appreciate the compliment." Her response (still nasty by the way), "Oh, well I didn't know that." My response, "Well, that's why we shouldn't judge people without knowing their circumstances. Have a great day."
She walked away with her head down and didn't yell at her daughter anymore.
