Spatch's Rule of Online Reviews

[spatch]

IF, AT ANY TIME during an online review, the writer uses the phrase "To those people, I just want to say..." then you can safely stop reading the review without fear of actually running into something useful or constructive.

That's about on par with the ol' supermarket chestnut "My item didn't scan? Then it must be free!"

As one who worked the cashier trenches for a while, I can tell you that one got old the second time I heard it.

The one I hate at convenience stores is "Do you want a small bag?"

NO MOFO I WANT AN ENORMOUS GIGANTIC COLOSSAL WORLD'S-RECORD-BREAKINGLY HUGE BAG BECAUSE THE 18 ITEMS I JUST BOUGHT HAVE NO POSSIBLE CHANCE OF FITTING INTO YOUR STUPID SMALL BAG

Maybe they're trying to deal you drugs on the side!

I thought the alternative to "a small bag" is "no bag", and that's what I often choose.
