She’s Gone Completely Crackers
I’m shopping with a near full basket of food at my local store. I just about hear a shrill voice over my music playing through my headphones. I turn around to see a woman, maskless and way too close; it actually makes me jump!
Me: “Whoa, too close.”
Customer: “What did you say?”
Me: “You’re too close. Geeze, give a guy some space!”
Customer: *Tuts* “Whatever, where are the [Brand] crackers?”
Me: *Looks around* “I’m willing to bet not in the dairy aisle.”
Customer: “What did you say?”
Me: “[Brand] crackers are likely to be in the crackers aisle.”
Customer: *Folds her arms* “What’s your name?”
Me: “Mr. Not Your D*** Business.”
Customer: “Right! I’m speaking to your manager!”
Me: “I don’t work here, dumba**.”
Customer: “Why were you stocking shelves?!”
Me: “I was putting the stuff I didn’t want back. It’s one of the things people who aren’t selfish do. Maybe give it a try.”
She swore and she shouted, but I was feeling far too smug to listen. I still wonder if she found her crackers in the end.
