You're missing the point. It's NOT that an extra few seconds or minutes would ruin anyone's day or that any of us are ENTITLED to spend the least amount of time in a store. The point is the increasing amount of rudeness and inconsideration for others that is evidenced by the posts on this thread. Eating a sandwich while others wait for a pump? C'mon.
