    All that mean is that you hit the ground harder than most. Are you saying that you are ugly too?

    It would do you good to remember that there are many people out there that are tougher and meaner than you ever thought of being. I have seen many big and buff guys brought to their knees during a normal physical work day by an old fat guy than I can count. I even got a compliment that the old fat guy was trying to kill them.

    I feel kinda bad now since ever since I wasn't trying to cheat. I wish he would have said something before I handed the cashier my bar. The cashier had already rung it up while the guy was complaining. The cashier could have told me the hidden rule and I would have just got at the end or not have bought anything and left.

    I don't know, there's buff guys out there who can kill polar bears and lions with their bare hands.

    You are correct after rereading it.in that case the op should have offered the next guy in line his turn.but what goes around comes around .when I'm the next one in line I'll stand in the middle till the next register is open and won't crowd in front of anybody.

    There is no hidden rule..... Geez you got in the shorter line that is that. Everyone who pulls in the Flying J goes brain dead I guess.

    The trucker was irate because you didn't merge properly into the line. You expected him to get out of your way even though he was already in line. Then you cut in front of him when his hands were loaded with snacks.

    No the shorter line was the one closest to me. I had just walked up and the cashier said next and I handed him my bar and then the guy a few guys back said something. All of the other truckers put their head down or looked away when I asked for an explaination.
