A tale from my friend who I will call ‘Sarah’, who works at a supermarket. I am but a channel for her life experiences…
Sarah was working the till and was scanning a man’s items. He seemed normal. They generally do.
S: That will be £14.25
SC: Here… wait, I only have £10.
S: Would you like me to void some of your items?
SC: No, I really need all this stuff!
*S thinks, ‘you really need two tubes of X brand toothpaste? How many teeth do you have?’*
S: Well I’m afraid you will have to have some of them voided.
SC: *In a jokey way* I’ll sing for you! I’m a good singer!
He breaks out in song. Badly. All over the country dogs awaken and howl at the moon. Bats fall from the sky. Somewhere a fairy dies.
S: Haha, very funny sir. Please, can you decide which items you would like to remove?
SC: *singing and checking out her nametag* oooooooooo Sarah… oooooooo… let me have these groooooooceries!!!!!
S:Sir, please. There's a queue forming...
Finally (after 2 more verses of 'Oooo Sarah') he relinquishes some items and wanders off, singing 'Ooooooo, Sarah is a biiiiitch... She wouldn't let me have my miiiiiiiilk...'
