it would make me crazy when someone would wait until everything was rung up to drag out their checkbook or wallet - like having to pay came as a shock to them. And, it wasn't just senior citizens.

It still makes me nuts when I'm in line behind someone who does this. The people who take forever to find their debit card are nearly as bad.
