  • Waiting For Godot?

    We had some crazy stuff happen on Wednesday (and I can't recall the rest of it right off hand) but this one customer just walked off with the prize. . .

    It's mid afternoon . . . I'm on my HBC aisle directly across from the front kiosk (and register 4) finishing up the last few totes on Tuesday's truck when I saw something that made me do a double-take:

    a young guy (maybe 20ish?) was sitting down IN THE FLOOR staring at the baby formula display (we keep it behind Plexiglass inside the kiosk b/c of it being high theft.)

    I go back to pick up another armful of stuff out of a tote and then look back: he's STILL THERE. He had not moved one muscle . . it was almost as if he were catatonic (and of course red boxer shorts glaring out at me.)

    Flash forward five minutes:

    Dude is STILL THERE, not moving. I sense someone behind me and it's Gump, wearing a strange look on his face and asking "Are you seeing what I'm seeing, DG?"

    We're both staring at this dude . . . and still we cannot figure out what he's doing. Was he waiting for Godot? Was he waiting for the Baby Formula Fairy to rise out of the kiosk and bless him on the forehead? Was he worshipping at the Altar of Enfamil?

    Five minutes later, the dude gets up and leaves like nothing ever happened. Too bad his too baggy pants didn't fall down around his knees (and they were already underneath his butt that he didn't have.)

    Gump and I were still confused. Still are to this day what that was all about . . .

    Or better still . . . IRV!!! One of your customers got stoned and forgot how to get to the Swamp again . . .

    I hate the baggy-pants look. Don't they all have belts they should wear or something? Or do people truly enjoy letting the public know if they wear BOXERS or BRIEFS???

      Most of the time the guys I see are wearing belts. They pull them tight enough around their thighs so the pants don't fall. It's so stupid. I always have the urge to ask them if they're looking for the bathroom.

        Judging by your pants, son, you can't get it up.

          If only they knew what sagging your pants in prison means.

            One of the specialty stores around here has a strict "no baggy pants" policy.

            you walk in with your underoos showing under your pants and they'll tell you to gtfo.

              The downtown mall here recently put up a sign saying you have to keep your pants up.

                I bet the guy in this story is how my character in Skyrim looks to onlookers when I use the in-game wait feature to wait for shops to open.

                  Some of them may not even care if you tell them.

                  Of course, I have a handy solution for that in two words:

                      Nothing makes me see red in public faster than those idiot wannabe badasses who walk around with their boxers up to their ribcages and their belts down at their thighs.

                          I have a cousin who would have mini seizures, and would just stare into space for a few minutes. No other symptoms, but that one. You wouldn't know he had had a seizure if you didn't know his medical history.

                            Maybe he was trying to break the lock with his mind.

                            Of course he forgot step 1...
