10 Items or Less (TV series) (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Visual Description:   Typical supermarket scenario.

PACUTE  =  TEACUP,  SIGPOS  =  GOSSIP,  FAYRCT  =  CRAFTY,  OMSTOH  =  SMOOTH,  PEMXET  =  EXEMPT,  NETLAG  =  TANGLE   —   Giving us:  EPSSIRFSMHXELE

Clue/Question:  After getting in the 10 Items or Less line, the customer was ready to . . .

Answer:  EXPRESS HIMSELF

(Checks really do freak out a lot of the younger cashiers!  Today’s was a good slice of life cartoon.  Who can’t relate to the perils of the Express Checkout line?  People who think they’re special.  Blue haired old ladies who pay by check, or by food stamps, or by pennies!  And, too often it’s a kid cashier who has to call out:  Scan on one!  because he/she is not old enough to touch the beer you’re buying, or:  I need the key! , because something didn’t scan correctly and they can’t fix it.   And, all the cashiers these days insist on giving you the receipt, store coupons and all of your change — all at the same damn time!  That is so frigging annoying!

No new clue words, today.  They all were jumbled well.  I always struggle with those made up compound words, like “teacup”.  Decent answer letter layout, but I doubt many of you struggled to get today’s answer.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
