Usually I get a dirty look, but at least he knows that he's (or she's) ticked us all off.

In Texas, this is a big one, because we are all raised to be "extra friendly," but when Mexican Nationals come here to shop from monterrey, or DF (mexico City), they do the same thing. They are always VERY wealthy, nd culturally in Mexico, lines are a foriegn concept. it's whomever strong-arms their way to the counter gets served first. They bring that norm with them to texas and shopping REALLY becomes a contact sport. Forget going out during Holy Week or Christmas - THE traditional shopping period for nortenios (northerners - what nationals are called here)
