The STORE lady
I work in a pretty large building so we have a store down on the first floor. This store is run by an older woman and every time I go in there I think I am in the middle of a Saturday Night Live skit.
She is slower than anyone I have ever met and her demeanor is fairly close to the famed "Soup Nazi" from Sienfield. She sits in a chair behind the cash register and slowly looks at each persons order, then ever so slowly she reaches and reaches for the register keypad. Finally she is ready for her money. You know this because she pivots her head and glares at you while she slowly reaches out her hand. Her arms are very like a Tyrannosaurus Rex so the "orderer" is required to stretch across the counter and place the money in her hand.
I always try to come prepared with exact change so things can move along a little faster.
I once tried to joke with her about why a Coke or Pepsi ($1.25) would cost less than a water ($1.35) when they are the same size AND water has less ingredients! (Namely ONE- WATER!) The next day the price of water was reduced to $1.05. I guess I won one for the little guy!
