chinese supermarket

two older  chinese women in the line behind me thrust their money over my shoulder into the nose of the cashier because, one of them explains, they are in a hurry today. a younger woman ahead of me delivers a lecture on the importance of waiting for your turn. there is a poor gentleman in front of me who just looks bewildered. 

on balance, older chinese-looking women dressed in fresh-off-the-boat style and spouting loud dialects make for really frighteningly aggressive co-shoppers. the supermarket teems with them today.
