I'm In A Hurry And Don't Know Why

Yes, I know I'm a very impatient person. I despise slow drivers, or at best don't understand them. I try to be patient with older people, but I don't understand why anyone who is under 60 would want to drive slower than I do. Why isn't everyone in a hurry? Aren't we all in a race against time and need to push ourselves constantly because we have to get somewhere faster? Or something like that. I don't know why. I've gone over this any numbers of times in my mind, but I have no idea what the answer is or even if there should be an answer. I just have this internal drive that must get everywhere faster.

Which brings me to Ingles. I really like to shop at Ingles. They have big, clean stores with lots of stuff and lots of unusual stuff. It's my kind of place. But the pumps are an altogether different thing.

Welcome to Ingles, please scan your Ingles Card,,,wait, wait, wait,,,,,

Welcome valued Ingles customer, please choose payment type,,,,Credit outside - wait, wait, wait

Please insert your card in the card reader - Card entered, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,,,

Please choose fuel grade - Cheap - wait, wait, wait, wait, wait


Gahhhhhhhhhhhhhh - This is insane, especially when it's cold outside. Is this dial-up or do they send carrier pigeons with each response?

I'm a baby boomer who grew up with technology and I've seen it change from a rotary dial telephone to the speed of light used with the internet. I'm used to speed and I hate to wait on anything electronic. Electronic stuff is supposed to be fast, as fast as light, faster than sound and faster than analog.

I just finished filling out a complaint form on the web site. Time will tell if they will actually respond. In the mean time I will be very impatient.
