"I'm sorry, but you went over your limit. You are going to have to take somethings out."
"Excuse me lady! I have rent to pay. Just give me what I need" the Jamaican exclaimed.
I turn to my mother in disbelief.
The cashier continues "Ma'am, I'm sorry... you have just gone $12.00 over. Please remove a few items."
"Jacob," The Jamaican yells at her son "Pick out what toothpaste you want" a moment passes "Jacob!"
I look at her basket and I begin to understand this ladies insanity is far to great. The lady has Buffalo Chicken sauce, Cheerios, Coke, perfume, make-up.. all this stuff she can live with out, and it's the toothpaste's fault.
"Colgate! Ok. How much do I owe now lady?"
"Nine dollars and twenty eight cents."
"Really lady?! Here take the toilet paper"(once again, her insanity is at large) "Is that good enough for you."
The cashier at this point is fed up. Mind you, you are reading quite quickly and at this time in line at Cosco, it had been about twenty minutes. The cashier calls over a manager, and they take the crazy lady to the side.
"I am so sorry. you handled that waaay better than I ever could of. I have SUCH a short temper" I said to the cashier.
"thank you" she replied.
The Jamaican lady then turned to me and my mom.
"How dare you talk about me. how DARE you, lady. You are the worst cashier EVER"
My mom looks her dead in the eyes "Are you talking to me??" She asks the Jamaican.
"Yes lady. You are a piece of S**t. I have bills to pay, ok? Do not judge me."
My mom replies:
"How dare you talk to me with that mouth. This is America. We know how much money we have and we know how to use it. I advise you turn aroud and figure your life out."
Then I jump in (da da da daaaa):
"And who are you to talk about us? You are over there flippin balls about cherrios and toothpaste. We all have bills to pay. We all need alittle more money. That's why we are careful about how we spend our money and what we spend it on. I advise you put down your sixteen bottles of toothpaste, and your buffalo sauce and understand that crack is whack"
The lady says
"I do not smoke crack." and she handed the toothpaste bottles and Cherrios and Hot sauce to the manager.
Holy G Gah.
