I guess I am retarted

Course you any your whippersnapper ways. I can remember when we had to walk down the street to go to the grocery and it was cramped and had maybe two aisles. Had a butcher in the back that would dress your game kill and had a lunch counter for 4 - 8 people and you got fried bologna sammiches hot off the grill. Salad was a leaf or two of iceberg lettuce, a scoop of cottage cheese, a slice of peach / pear / tomato, and covered with a dollop of mayonnaise as the salad dressing.

It’s just a visual for the cashier to keep folks’ stuff separated and not ring up something by mistake. It ain’t that complicated. Nobody thinks it’s a “privacy fence”.

Just based on this unofficial ranking, I feel like a well-timed bump could vault divider at grocery store right down into the Bottom 5.

I thought you weren’t supposed to feed bread to ducks anymore.

The key appears to be whetting one's appetite with the tantalizing premise of "coeds," immediately failing to include images of said coeds, and preempting everyone who might express interest in the actual topic to frick right off.

I don’t think you’re looking at this issue from the proper perspective.

It’s not a matter of whether or not someone uses the “divider” right or wrong. It’s the fundamental issue of whether to use the “divider” at all in the 1st place.

Culturally, we’ve become such a divisive society in general as it is.

Do we need to continue to foster and encourage that divisiveness in the very place where we commonly procure one of our most basic needs of human sustenance?

Dividers: “right way vs wrong way”?

Or?

“Dividers vs No Dividers”

At this juncture in time, I think we need practice behaviors that unite us rather than to continue to perpetuate those behaviors that divide us.

Even down to the most mundane & seemingly insignificant events of our daily lives…like the grocery store checkout line.

I say… put your shite on the belt…let it ride…see where the journey of non-divisiveness takes you, and resist the impulse to place that cheap-arse piece of plastic as contrived “barrier” between you and your fellow consumer.

Who knows?

Maybe your fellow shopper in front of you overlooked and forgot to get the bananas on their respective shopping list?

Are you really gonna miss a bundle or two of bananas in your persevering quest to be a force of UNITY among humanity ?

That's what the head lice treatment and adult diapers are for.
