Dear Menard's Garden Center manager dude,

May I suggest that telling someone who is literally putting their card back in their wallet after completing a purchase that they "need to move, the line is really long" is a Bad Idea

Especially when you, my dude, are blocking the exit with your line of carts.

As I told you, "I am literally putting away my card and then I will be gone."

Perhaps you should have more than one cashier on duty.

Fuck you very much

RAISE is a transitive verb. Raise the roof. (Takes a direct object.)

RISE is an intransitive verb. Let the bread rise. (No direct object.)

I'm always surprised when I see someone get this wrong. Doesn't happen often, but it does happen.

Sometimes a word or phrase has fallen out of favor in our current usage, but it was common in the past. I'm not talking about slurs. I'm talking about things like "presently."

Current usage suggests changing it to "now" or "soon," whichever is meant. However, in the time in which this story is set, the word was commonly used.

I'll address this with a note to the client outlining the issue, and let him make the decision. His work. Not mine.
