Things customers do that drive store cashiers crazy, particularly this time of year:

1. The credit card shuffle (Going through 50 cards to find the “right” one. Pick a card, any card)
2. Insist that their expired coupons are still good.
3. Talk on the damned cellphone while getting their purchase rung up.
4. Use EBT to buy soda and candy bars for their obese kids.
5. Writing a cheque!
6. Send a kid back to exchange an item from the shelves with the one they brought to the checkout line
7. Emptying their change purse all over the counter, to find 18¢.
8. Saying they’ll use a credit card, and then changing their mind once the transaction has begun and deciding to pay cash after all
9. “If it doesn’t scan it’s free, right?”
10. Instead of watching the cashier scan their items, they wait until it’s all bagged and paid for, then stand in the way to examine their receipt and contest the prices they were charged.

Next: Rock or pop music that is not in 4/4 time.

1. King Volcano by Bauhas, 3/4 time - [King Volcano - Bauhaus. - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlK5Cwt8rl4)  
I’m lenient on the definition of “rock music.” Part of the song can feature non-standard time, as opposed to the entire song.
