Why is it when you're nice and let the person with 2 items go in front of you in line at the grocery store, they inevitably want to pay their ENTIRE $11.00 bill in pennies?

thank you!

Yay, a question I can answer! The left hand side is reserved for human and feline passengers


The gearstick is that shiny, phallic thing in the middle, so same place as a US car but it's best to use the left hand to change gears. The pedals from left to right are

I once drove a pickup truck thingy in the USA, whenever I automatically reached for the gearstick with my left hand, I'd nearly open the door and fall out!

AND
you let someone with 2 items go first, and they have a discount card so that needs to be scanned, they have a frequent buyer program so that needs to be scanned, they need a price check on the second item and there are no spare staff to do it, they want to pay by credit card but it won't scan so they riffle around in their purses for ages looking for another card EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE THE CASH! Why?

my question had to do with the manual dexterity that women
possess when they remove said undergarment.
