The whole point of most stores (especially Walmart) is to get in and out with your goods in as little time as possible for as little money as possible. Sure, you can spend time shopping and browsing, but that is your choice to make. I believe it is a high crime against humanity to delay OTHER people in a store. Such high crimes include:

Paying with a check. What the fuck? Which decade is this? If you really must pay with an antique payment method why don't you try CASH. Cash is older AND faster! If you were behind me in line and I pulled out some wampum or ClubMed shells you would be pissed off too.
Not understanding the point of the self checkout line. Look, lady, I know you're so poor that you can't afford toys for your children, but the alternative is NOT to take your five kids into the self checkout with 80 items in your cart to play with the nice grocery arcade game.
Generally causing trouble and delay. You know, whether it's the grocery store, airport or the ATM, I never EVER EVER EVER end up using as much time at the head of the line as anyone that was in front of me.

Well that last category got a hall of famer tonight at Walmart.

So our line at Walmart was frozen for 15 minutes because of the woman pictured. As most Walmart shoppers know, if you want cigarettes you must get in the tobacco line. Its been this way at every location for at least two years. If you notice there are no tobacco products anywhere except THE TOBACCO LINE. Do you really think that your cashier is going to walk the 1000 feet to the tobacco line to get you your smokes? What the fuck do you think this is, a full service grocery store. This is WALMART. They don't provide a lot of service so YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY FOR IT (and they engage in seriously awesome economies of scale, but hey, this isn't the Freaknomics blog).

Well we were not in the tobacco line. The pictured woman finished her checkout and threw an absolute tantrum. She yelled "I don't see a sign that says that I can't get cigarettes in this line!". The cashier calmly explained to her that they actually can't even ring up tobacco in any of the normal lines. Simple, right?

The woman then demanded cigarettes and refused to leave the line until she got them. Everyone in line and to sit and wait while the cashier and at least two managers had to come talk to this woman. After repeated explanations to her the manager relented and said that they could carry the receipt to the tobacco line and check her out with smokes. 15 minutes and two managers later they rung her up on the tobacco line and she got her smokes.

This is especially fucking hilarious since they really didn't do anything. She ended up having to go to the tobacco line like she should have done in the first place. There was no queue in the tobacco line either. Which means she could have gone there 15 minutes ago. That woman owes me 15 minutes.

On the way out she stopped another Walmart person (some young guy with a crapload of badges) and pointed to what I guess is the management room with the one way glass. She asked them what the "address" was for that room (Dear Smoker Lady, I'm guessing you could just write to the store address ATTN: management or something, but what fucking ever, who am I to tell you what to do, Princess). He offered to give her the direct phone line to that office. She said "No, I need the address" and waited when he walked off to get it. She was still waiting when we left, and had indeed started harassing the man in the optometry shop for information.

WTF. Seriously.
