Michael went to the commissary shopping with me today. As we shopped he suddenly said Next Please. Then he shared with me this story:
He was sitting at his desk at work the other day doing what he does. Other Marines were in the same office or shop as he calls it, but all was quiet. Then he randomly with out thought says out loud, "Next Please." He said the whole shop cracked up.
For those of you that have shopped in a military grocery store you know what I'm talking about. For those of you who don't; the store has many registers but we form one LONG line and there is an electronic voice and a visual number that lights up to tell you which register is able to check you out. So, if you are an Arnett you find yourself randomly saying next please while you shop. Or, in Michael's case while he's in the shop. :)

That's TOO funny! I'll bet everyone in that shop appreciated the laugh just then! And every one of them could relate to "Next, please." I'm guessing that Michael used the exact intonation of the commissary auto-voice.
I don't know what to think about the way one stands in line at the commissary. Military efficiency at work, I suppose. Wal-Mart could never get away with it, but I wouldn't mind seeing them try!
