Today I went to the grocery store to pick up some cigs and this little twerp gave me a smart *** answer when I asked for the kind I want. He says"You only have to tell me what you want once, that's all you need to say." I said, "No it isn't all I have to say because half the time you guys pull the wrong ones". Which is true, there's 4 different kinds of the brand I smoke.

What I FELT like saying was a smart *** answer about his attitude. For some reason rude people in a service profession really bring out the irritability in me when I'm trying to maintain my less than even mood, i.e. in a mixed state.

TG I didn't embarrass myself but it really pissed me off and I had to do all kinds of "let it go" exercises.

Sounds like a miniscule thing compared to some of the other crap that goes down, but I honestly have to keep my control big time when I deal with things like this when I'm paying good money in a store.

Ranting, again.
