How I Moved to the Front of the Line

Saturday, April 8  (Easter Eve)

I shopped in a small store today.  Because it was the day before Easter, there were many people in the store.
I finally entered the checkout line.  There were eight shoppers in front of me.  At this point, another store employee came forward and opened a second checkout line.  The employee announced that this line was for cash-only customers.  Those in the first line started to look back at each other to see who would be the cash-only customer.  All the looking ended with me.  I had less than ten dollars in merchandise and I had a ten dollar bill in my wallet.  I quickly moved to the second cashier and was checked out in less than a minute.
