Running in four different directions today, as always. I had promised my wife I would stop in at the BJ's near the office and pick up some shit.
I dislike shopping overall but at least BJ's I can get fed.
They always have these little stands where some grandmother in a maroon apron is handing out pizza rolls or fried shrimps. If I'm lucky I can make enough laps around the store, stop back a few times, and I won't have to go anywhere for lunch.
I made my way through the produce section and past this ridiculously huge woman with a shit load of butter in her cart. "Wow", I thought "who need five pounds of butter anyway?"
Well, I got my shopping list done and made my way to the checkout. Like I said I was in a hurry so I always use the self-checkout lines they have there. It's a lot quicker than putting up with the inane comment about the weather, or a sports team or movies the cashiers go on about.
As I'm scanning away, I look over to the full service check out next to me, if you could call it that. There is this big guy with a beard being checked out by this scrawny little Goth. I could tell she looked overjoyed to be there, really it looked like she was waiting for death itself to ride in and take her away.
The weird thing is that she never said a thing to him the whole time. At first I thought she was deaf or something, but the big guy never said anything to her either.
They just stared each other down.
It even went so far as when she was done ringing him up she just pointed at the amount on the screen. He didn't miss a beat; he goes to write his check but has no pen. So I figure now he's got to say something.
Oh, no.
He starts drawing in the air, with out saying a word, and she gives him a pen.
I'm standing there watching all of this thinking to myself "What the fuck are these retards doing?"
He hands her the check, she hands him the receipt. And to the door he goes.
I notice she cracks the tiniest of smiles, and he's chuckling to himself.
These people are fucking crazy.
I'm shopping at Sam's Club from now on.

This was a neat idea. Reminds me of 2004 uber.

I thought about it...but I'm feeling particularly lackadaisical right now, especially as my work day ends in a half hour here. And I'm anxious to go home and work on a guitar project.
