They probably remember you from the bad old days.  As for me, I'm just lazy AF.  But I don't abuse the express lanes, either.  It's hard not to when the Walmart decided it's good policy to have only one regular checker.  And no boys for boxes, either.

Yeah, I don't do much at the Wallyworld... Paper goods, dog food and treats, hygiene... And canned beef. Oh, and my phone is straight talk. So once a month I hit em, and the Costco too, and otherwise I go to Albertson's or Rosaur's (bonified supermarkets)...

Mrs. Liberty was in Cat Lick school K-12, and she told me the standard threat for grades 1-3 was "You are going to burn in Hell for coloring outside the lines."

True.
That might have happened to your Significant Other, but as someone who went grades 1-12 through Crappie Cruncher schools, I never heard it. Your wife had a lunatic for a teacher.
Yes, we were told not to color outside the lines, but the nuns (most of them) who taught me and the other miscreants did not tell us  we'd burn in hell for doing so. Believe it or not, most of my teachers were pretty sane....nuns or not.

She’s a liar.  It’s too bad the MSM will not take her to task for this.
I automatically assume any Dem pol, of whatever color, is a liar and a scoundrel. I think most Dem pols are genetically incapable of telling the truth about anything. Unless a gun is put to their head.

@Victoria33, the man has stated two important things not in your summary:

* He did not tell her to go back to where she came from; apparently she has since admitted she does not know what he actually said; so she falsely accused him of being a racist;

* There were two regular check-out stations open that were not checking out customers; if verified by security camera footage, the woman's excuse was also a lie; in light of her false accusation of racism, I'm inclined to believe the man on that point unless video proves all check-out stations were, in fact, busy.

Further, she walked up and down however many aisles it took to accumulate many more than the ten item limit, which suggests to me that her "need" was probably more like convenience.

Ironically, the man is of Cuban heritage - Hispanic - and hates Trump, so whatever he did do, it was in no way motivated by Trump, which was her point.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

The nun was a certifiable lunatic, Sister Mary Cleofus.  She'd force Mrs. Liberty to sit under the teacher's desk and then Sister would kick the shit out of her at will.  She found out later the Church was sending all the lunatic Sisters and Fathers to teach at this Diocese.  The only decent teacher she had was a Lay Teacher.

I only had one really crabby teacher in grade school. She was a nun who apologized (?) to my third grade class one day about being crabby all the time.
Later on as I got older I realized being a nun wasn't for everybody. I then gave those nuns the title:
Sisters Of Perpetual Frustration.

I have read/seen all versions of this from written material and seen news about this from the Georgia TV news station.  Putting this together, I think this is what happened:

1.  The Georgia representative was in the quick check-out and had more than 10 items which is the limit for quick check-out.  Why did she do this?  I would have it, too.  Why?  Because she was 9 months pregnant and she said she couldn't stand up very long.  Women will understand this.  At 9 mouths pregnant, she had already been standing up to go through the store, get what she needed, and she needed to get out of there, plus she also had a small child already out of the womb, with her, which makes her looking out for the already born child and taking care of the unborn child..

She was able to stand with no problem giving her television interview outside the store and at her press conference.  Her daughter was 9 yrs old, so I don’t think it was a huge strain having her along. It was just excuses she used to reinforce her victimhood.

There are just certain things in life you just don't do.  You don't park in a handicapped space if you aren't handicapped.  You don't pass a school bus when the red lights are flashing.  And you don't go through the 'ten-items-or-less' with fifteen items.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

I'm always nice to disabled people in the store.  Without them, where would I park?

That reminds me of something I don't like about the Self-Serve Checkouts.  I can't scan one and enter the 24x, I have to do them one by one, and I can't scan the next item until I put the previous one in the bag.  What a time waster.  And, if I buy beer I have to have an attendant clear the error.  They are invariably nowhere to be found when I need them. 

In either situation, I seek a manned lane and go there, even if the store has somebody trying to convince me to use the self check.

If you're buying anything 24 at a time, you may want to see if you can find a place that sells things that way.  I buy most of my staples at a store that is more or less targeted at restaurants, and I get a huge discount buying in bulk.

Or just buy your beer in cases like an adult.

I've tried that, but my cats are too finicky.  Can't be satisfied by what's at Sam's, noooooo. 

As for the beer, I buy it by the keg now that I have a Kegerator.  I'm not in the mood, or a serious enough drinker, to buy my Whiskey by the case.

My cat will eat one brand of cat food (dry) and one brand only.  He absolutely positively will not eat anything else.  That includes canned food, people food, fresh fish, cooked fish, cooked chicken, etc.  In that regard, we are blessed.  He is a black and white maine coon (no offense) who likes to have his belly scratched.

Best cat we ever had was a maine coon. He'd bring home mice, rats, pack rats, weasels, minks, muskrats, racoons (baby, twice), and full grown ducks. There was hardly a day we weren't scraping something off the porch. That was one bad*ss cat.

I most recently had a Lynx point Siamese that did the same thing re: small critters, snakes, etc.  You haven't lived until you've tripped over a dead squirrel in a long, dark hallway...it's that feeling of "what the hell was that?" .....lolol.

Ol Foot (Bigfoot) knew where his bread was buttered. He paid his rent every day on the back porch stairs. Hopefully, the dogs got to it before we did...

But many's the night I stumbled in. pretty well lit, and stepped in something that squished and slid... And I prayed I was wearing my sh*tkickers.

2.  Some man was there and called her lazy, called her some kind of bitch, and told her to go back (I think he meant for her to get out of the quick check-out line since she had more than 10 items).  Her brain interpreted that as the famous, "Go back to your country."  I also read/saw the news, the man left the store and came back in again.  He wanted to continue the word fight.

Whether or not this guy was a jerk for not giving a pregnant woman a pass does not remotely excuse her going public and making this a racial incident.  And evenif it is true that she wasn't deliberately lying about what he said, but it was just "what her brain interpreted it as", then she's clearly a race-baiting shrew who looks to find racial offensive in the everyday actions of other people, and so invents things that were not said actually said to justify smearing white people as part of a racist agenda.

That's utterly despicable, particularly when it is a public official going on Facebook to smear a private citizen.

Just because a woman is pregnant doesn't make her any more virtuous or reasonable than anyone else, and it doesn't excuse crappy treatment of others in the least.

You should go watch her video, lots of tears and drama, and "how could he say that?"   Despicable indeed.

Yeah, I saw it.  You don't go on Facebook for something like this unless you want publicity, and she used it to smear this guy as a racist.

At one point, during one of her interviews with an uncurious press, she said she wanted the man "held to account."  She's the one needing it.  She won't be, if she is in a safe district.  He might be able to sue, if he can prove damages.

I'm not sure if I mentioned it on this thread or another forum, but that female is not just a member of the GA House of Representatives. She is the GA House Minority (Party) Leader.

Has the GA Dem Party made a peep about this race-baiting slanderer? This female should not be deputy assistant dog catcher, for fear that she might mistreat dogs that happen to be white.

More generally, I HATE IT that we in society are "having to" keep stories like this on the PR front burner to try to get appropriate and meaningful responses to race-baiting and slander like hers, or antisemitism like Ilhan Omar's, or etc.! Why in Hades do party officials have to be hectored into maybe doing the obviously right thing?!

What the hell does she expect to happen to him?  He's a private citizen.  Or is she just one of those "it should be illegal to offend other people" types?

I mean, she's a legislator, right?  Shouldn't she know what the law does and does not say regarding free speech?  Yeah, I know....

I don't know what she meant by "holding him accountable."  Jail?  That's why that comment of hers stuck out at me.
