I've got a new pet peeve.  You know how sometimes you'll come across it at first? The first couple times it's just a mild annoyance?  Then as it progresses you feel it evolving into the mutated mass of frustration!  I've been shopping today.  I already buy the bulk of my shopping list and am on my way home.  About 5 mins from there I remember something that wasn't on the list but I foresee needing more of in the near future.  So in the interests of efficiency I'll stop off at Safeway before proclaiming "mission accomplished".  While walking through the store I am reminded of the lunchmeat, mayo, and other misc. items (just previously purchased) relating to the upcoming week's luches.  I'm out of chips at home.  I'll get the bulk bag of 20-something Subway meal sized bags of chips.  On sale.  Very good.  Acquire toilet paper and onward to the cash register.  Two things.  Two things mind you.  I'm silently asking myself if they are going to seriously ask me the dreaded question which is now balancing on the precipice of peevery.   "Would you like a carry out?" he asks in the overkill sunny tone.  I am clearly not among the 60+ yr old grandma's on social security.  I do not believe that I give off the aura of snobbery.  I'm a guy in my early 20s just wanting my chips and TP.  Instead of asking me, why not wait for someone behind me that could honestly benefit from such a service?  One reason could be that they're forced by an overbearing management to go the extra ten miles.  The kind of people who enforce your quantity of policy mandated "pieces of flair".  If that is the case I am deeply pained for all of you at Safeway.  If not you must be on auto pilot and in drone fasion ask every single individual whether they want carry out.  No.  I do not.  But someday I will.  I'll buy some milk and cereal.  And when you ask me I will oblige.  I will smile with cruel satisfaction as my two pound purchase is carried along by the store peon as per company policy.  While five says a week at work I might have to lift something anywhere in the range of 0-150 pounds.  I had no reason for this post other than to complain.  And I won't actually make them carry it for me.  It's just how I feel.  Why don't they just get self-checkout and save me from this anguish?
