As others have pointed out, it might not be her car. Even if it is, perhaps she's just lost her job or is in a shelter for battered women. There's no reason to judge her based on the car - even if it were hers. Maybe she's a nanny borrowing her employer's car or maybe her children are in a private school under scholarships.

I don't see why she would annoy you. It's not her fault that the card had a problem or that the store only had one clerk available. Frankly, I'd be aggravated that the cashier didn't bag her groceries automatically. Why wouldn't the clerk help her with the card? Why wouldn't the clerk provide the same service to her that he or she provided to anyone?

On edit: I don't think you need a full evidentiary hearing to make judgments. However, I believe that people in need deserve the benefit of the doubt. If your story happened, there's just not enough information to make a judgment about her need.
