Why do people get so annoyed at the smallest inconvenience at a place of business

I was at the gas station getting a crappy sandwich. There was only one person working and she was a senior citizen. She was a little slow to count out the money of the first person in line. The second person was huffing and puffing and turned to me and said can you believe this. I responded with “It’s not a big deal chill out sir”. Got pissed at my response. They’re card was declined. I let out a ha and they stormed out. Do you have any similar situations. I’m sure a lot of us have

Yeah like a few weeks ago, something similar. This guy behind me in a food store checkout, put his few groceries up, and I was nearly done paying. He waited, after putting them up, like a MINUTE for me...and started shifting, looking irritated etc. I mean one minute. Then as i was literally about to walk out of line finished, he gathered up his stuff and went to another line. I was like, okkkkkkkk. I mean I could see if I was like 5 or 10 min paying... but , man. Oh well I got a bit defensive inside for a few moments, but then thought, thats what he did, so I have no control over it. And I let it go out of my mind. But thats not always lol.
