long day...
the cool young guy from jet city improv came through my line today.
i thought he was the guy that did the kiosk commercial for redmond town center.. but i dont think so.
so i mentioned that ive seen him, and he sed he'd hope to see me there again soon.. blah blah blah..

ok. so then, with about 10 mins and counting til i bust outta that place, shit went down.
i was in the express lane all day, which is kinda cool, but boring, with a lotta down time, and not much to do in it.
but anyway. this guy probably about my age mentioned to the black couple behind them that they had more than 10 items, which is the limit for the line. oh sweet jesus....
they went off on this poor guy.
they were like "no, see all this.. this counts as one item. (which it can, cuz its multiples)
then the woman sed. "you know. you just sed that cuz we was black. if we was white you wouldnt had sed anything."
in my head. i was like "no, no, she didnt just say that. oh my god."
ok, so sure this couple being black may have been discriminated against some, or even a lot, in their lifetime, im guessing they were about 50ish, but this was definately not the case. this poor guy was just trying to be courteous to the people behind him, and these two blew up. the woman would tell the man to calm down, then she'd give the boy shit. then the man kept saying. "i was backin down, i was backin down."

luckily the kid only had one item and i got him the fuck outta there...

then its their turn... somehow this coupon (i think because it was expired) rang their liter pops up at $50 each.. and they had 5!
so when there bill was $270-some, i was like... wha?
i thought theyd be pissed... but they werent.
then after i voided that out, i had to get a manager to override it.
again, i thought they'd be pissed... but no.
so the manager came over.. a big black dood... took care of it quickly.
i just want to get these people on their way!
then they whip out their EB card (food stamps in credit card form) and do their thing.
but... it declines it... im like ... FUCK.
so instead of telling him its declined, i just say. "hey, how bout you try it again?"
luckily that worked. and they were on their way.
after that kid left, and they calmed down, they were the nicest people. strange.
weird how one little misunderstood implication brought on eternal hellfire and whatnot.
presuming that they were being discriminated against.
but its tough. im sure. but i doubt a 18 - 20 yr old kid would have it in for a middle-aged black couple.

so everyones leaving me tonight. luckily chris has nothing to do and is coming over...
no free pizza though =(
where the hell are all the rest of you?!
