i usually say excuse me, can you talk after work ? they do get the message. +5
-
I usually say, "hey, I'm waiting".
-
If it went on long enough, clear my throat or cough to get their attention off each other. If they didn't get the hint, I'd probably ask the cashier if he/she would mind cashing me out.
-
Yeah, this one is kinda a bummer at times. I don't wanna be hypocritical about it re: prioritorizing one's immediate choices, so I generally just let it go on, loudly clearing my throat periodically. ;-)

Hello, my hair is turning gray here Can I get someone to help me who is not part of the welfare to work program???
-
I would say I am in a hurry and can you discuss this later.
-
I don't have to say anything, apparently the expression on my face says it all.
-
I'd be like HEY DOUCHEBAGS!!! What the hell are your problems? I grew a beard twice sitting here!!
-
if it was long enough and other lines where long to i be like "Shut your mouth, there done, there IS other people behind them, dipshit" Tryin to keep it as pg-13 as possible.
-
This happens sometimes, if I'm in a hurry (which is most of the time):) I say something like "I really hate to interupt you BUT"..............:):)
-
i'd rather say to the cashier," Excuse me, would you mind of me here? i'm going tired already waiting for this matter. my patience is over and i have to because for me time is gold. i have something to do after this, hope your not blind and also deaf.

I will take the name of the cashier and report to the manager.and when my turn comes to pay the i will tell her/him off.
-
They do that all the FUCKING time where I live!!!! There aren't life counselors or anything in the whole Goddamn state apparently. You get used to it after a time.
-
Be polite and say "I have life too, ya know"
-
If I'm right behind her, I'll give the cashier a sharp and dirty look..they usually do notice and try to cut the conversation. But if they don't, I would say : "Excuse me, but I'm in a hurry." or at one time, I managed to provoke another lady who looked more annoyed then me to make the move.
-
I would leave the potential purchases wherever they are and walk away saying nothing at all.
-
I'd say, "DO I HAVE TO TAKE A NUMBER, TOO? OR MIGHT YOUR MANAGER BE MORE PREDISPOSED TO AN EXPEDITIOUS CHECK-OUT?"!
-
Join in the conversation with a sarcastic tone. They'll get uncomfortable and shut up.
-
If she couldn't move and talk at the same time, I would leave my things on her belt and walk by saying "I don't have time for this shit!" And, if I was in a REALLY bad mood, I would tell the customer service people why they had to put all my things back on the shelves... It's more often the customers in line in front of me who irritate me more than the cashier does...
-
I clear my voice to get the clerks attention. Once the clerk looks at me, i point to my watch. This works.
-
That happens quite a bit at the ameristop by my house and I have no problem saying "excuse me, I have places I need to get to, could you ring up my order and then finish this conversation?"+4

Lay down the garbage I was going to purchase, note the names of those talking, walk out and call back and speak to the manager. I have also went to customer service before leaving the building for a little talk. I have never had to buy something I could not delay the purchse and I refuse to beg for them to take my money. +5
-
i would probably wait but act annoyed then call the store later to complain.
