Crazy Yarn Store Lady

Can I just go off for a moment on the awkward, unprofessional, nosy-ass clerk at the yarn store?  Although she shall remain nameless (because I don't know her name), there IS only one yarn store in my area.

The last time I was there she asked about the photo on the front of my checkbook cover.  (I would tell you right now what the picture is, but honestly who the hell cares what's on my checkbook cover!  It's a rooster!  There--are you happy now?)  The only reason to write a check there is because they don't accept credit/debit cards.  In fact I rarely write checks any more.  The other place I have to use checks is the tiny grocery store in Slater because they also don't take cards.  I pretty much never have actual cash.  So dirrrty.

Anyhoo--I rushed there yesterday to get to the store before it closed.  Yes, it was a yarn emergency!  Don't act like you've never heard of such a thing.  I wrote out my check and she was apparently reading my checkbook ledger and actually asked me about the multiple entries to the little Slater store.  I write in my register "T&C" which obviously stands for Town & Country.  What part of any of that information is HER business?  She asked, "What's T&C?"  I, of course, am a "nice" person so I answered the crazy lady and left the store.

On my walk back to the car I was just flabbergasted.  What?  Who does that?  Besides just being nosy, who would go ahead and comment on that sort of thing?  I'm thinking about writing a letter to the owner of the store to complain.  Ranting and complaining in writing often make me feel better, and in some cases (I doubt this is one) it can result in coupons for free stuff such as the time I found a giant flying insect in my Dole lettuce, and the time that the Hy-Vee manager was an idiot.
