So
I was in the grocery store today and ran into the dumbest person on earth.
She was making a special appearance as a cashier as part of her "Dumb
Ass" world tour, which is sponsored by Dan Quayle and President George
Bush.
Anyway, I
knew she had the intelligence of a parakeet even before I met her. She was
ringing up the customer in front of me and was trying to overcome a perplexing
problem, which was overloading her small cashew sized brain.
She
turned to the cashier beside her (and this is not a lie) proceeded to ask,
"What is this, I forgot" as she was pointing to a pineapple!
The other
cashier then wrote down in Braille what the item was, because he couldn't
fathom that a person with the ability of sight could make such a mistake and
yet, still be able to remember to breathe.
Not only
that, but the pineapple was visibly labeled by the Dole Company as "Golden
Pineapple". The women must have just grazed past this label, deeming
it as the fruit's surname or something.
I could understand
if this was a fruit such as the Mango or Kiwi, quite frankly nobody can recognize
those things, and they don't taste good anyway! So after the manager came
over and phonetically spelled out the fruit and showed her the definition
in the dictionary, we were able to move on.
Or so, I
thought.
As I approached
the register, the cashier took my Juicy Fruit gum (gotta have sweet) and scanned
it not once, not twice, but three times!!!
What the
hell!?
Note I was
only purchasing one packet of gum, and at this point I have the same expression
on my face that a cow does, well a cow that has just been tipped over. Kind
of aggravated, but more frustrated, trying to figure out why this person is
tormenting me!
We finally
got my purchases finalized and I got out of there as soon as possible, but
not before hearing the customer behind me scream in agony as the cashier took
on it's next victim.
