The Deli Line

I am usually a patient person. I do not mind waiting in line, but for some reason waiting on a deli line at the supermarket annoys me. Normally in the winter I go food shopping with my husband and he is assigned to the deli area. He waits on line while I go shopping. On the weekends that he doesn't shop with me I have to wait to order. As soon as I walk into the store, I run to the deli area just in case someone else was walking there slower than me. If there are two people ahead of me, I am fine. If there are three or more I do not like it. Maybe it is the uncertainty of not knowing how much each person is ordering. Are they a one meat order or are they ordering for a family for the week? If the deli counter workers start chatting with each other, I feel like telling them to stop talking and keep slicing. Once I get my order, I relax and enjoy the rest of the shopping experience.
