Wow some people should not be let out of the house on their
own. I was at Wal-mart tonight and got in line behind this guy…I should have
known this was a bad idea by taking one look at this guy. He was dressed like
Sherlock Holmes and Steve Urkel [he had on a fedora and a khaki trench coat
along with black jeans pulled up WAY too high with white sneakers] therefore
going forward we shall call him “Sherkel”. Now that you have a mental image let
us move on. Sherkel put everything in his cart up on the counter, the cashier
rang them up and all was normal…UNTIL…she gave him his total…he didn’t have
enough money to pay for it all and at first I felt really bad for the guy, but
that feeling didn’t last very long. Why? Because he started pulling items out
of bags one at a time and having the cashier remove it from his total only to
turn around and put it back on. What really pissed me off is that when I
actually noticed what was in his bags…most of the things were not even
necessary. Let me explain…he had dog food (necessary), food/water bowl
(necessary), flea medicine (necessary)….THEN….he had a collar, trinkets for the
collar (just for looks..as he put it), dog diapers, dog pads and a sweater.
Don’t get me wrong…if you’re not pinching pennies then by all means buy that
dog hoodie and cute little collar, but if you’re shopping on a budget then get
your priorities straight. At this point the only person I felt bad for was the
cashier that had to deal with his craziness. Of course at this point the line
was only getting longer and Sherkel didn’t even act like he cared. At this
point I’m pretty sure a normal person would have taken everything off but the
food, the bowl and the medicine and just checked out and left…I mean if money
is tight do you really need doggy diapers and pads??? Just let your dog out the
front door to do their business for crying out loud. After 15 minutes I thought
I was going to lose it so I left and went to another lane. When I was in my car
and leaving I noticed he was still wandering around the parking lot…looking for
his car??? Who knows, but I really think someone should have probably went to
the store with him maybe with a CALCULATOR!!!!
FYI: by no means am I making fun of this guy for getting to
the register and not having enough money…I’m making a point to show some people
need to be chaperoned when not in their own house. Also I wanted to say that
when on a budget shop by prioritizing things…that’s all!
