Patience and Shopping

Today was a day that I know that God was working on my patience. One of my weak points as a parent and husband is I hate back to school shopping. Today we went to Walmart, Ross and Target we left the house about 5:30pm. Being assured by my wife that this would not be a long task we ventured out me in reluctant tow. Long story short we did not get home until 10:30pm AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!

Shopping is one of my unless it is for me and a toy I don’t wanna go especially with my wife and girls for clothes shopping. It was OK up until the point we were leaving WALMART, there were only 7 registers open and at least 20 people in every line. Slow is a understatement. We finally pick a line and it was slow and then when we get up to the front cart unloaded half of our purchase rung up the register stops working, meanwhile patience has left my brain, then she finally gets all of our stuff rang up and then her CC machine won’t work the Customer Service manager comes over suspended our sale and we have to follow her to another register. Meanwhile, I must say I am usually a non complainer and patient, now I am about to explode. so we finally get our bill paid start heading out to the entrance we came in get there it is blocked off and closed.

God forgive me I had a fit albeit polite and now employees, customers or families were injured in the event. But I know that for some reason God thought he would work on my patience and I failed this test tonight. Luckily my wife and kids love me no matter what.

Walmarts motto from me 7 lines open 300 people in line please be patient….lol
