Grocery Store Story

So I was standing in a rather large line at my local Wal-Mart today behind a couple families that I know from when I went to church with my family in year younger. It was the only register open so there wasn't much of another option to get my 12 pack of Mountain Dew for a party I was heading to. I was wondering why the line was going nowhere when I decided to poke my head up front to see what the holdup was. It was a little old lady who didn't have enough for her groceries and she was trying to talk the cashier into letting her get away with being short. This struck me as odd until I found out she was a mere $0.21 short of her purchase. Now all these families were just staring and there was even two making fun of her. I walked up and handed my soda to the cashier, handed him a $5 and told her to keep the change. One of the middle aged women (I knew these people, so I also knew that they all make over 6 digits) grabbed her kid and yelled very loudly, "See that man? He's acting just like Jesus wants us to." For some reason this set me off, so I turned around. I haven't shaved in awhile so I'm rocking some nice scruff, a Slayer shirt, and gym shorts, so it must have been a nice sight. Very loudly, I said "Like Jesus? Ma'am I'm an atheist who makes minimum wage and I was the one who stepped up to help her? Your hypocritical Christianity is an inspiration to us all." As I stormed out, a couple of the cart boys started to whistle and cheer, soon shoppers joined in and even the cashier. I gave a wave and went off with a feeling of accomplishment

 

i believed the story until people started cheering for your douchy tirade. the woman was trying to teach her kid a good lesson and you flipped out and made a scene over nothing, and everyone in the store supported it?

also, what kind of shitty parties do you go to where mountain dew is the drink to bring?

 

^^^:smilielol5:

Lol, yeah the mountain dew thing was my first clue there might be something wrong with this story.

 

Whether the OP was going to a party with sugar fairies or not he just confirmed for them that skanky looking Slayer fans really are angry.
Just give the old lady 20 cents and tell the christians "Actually I am Jesus" : )

 

Yeah that probably would have been better :rofl:

 

I actually hoped that was where the story was headed. I was disappointed.

 

Me too Aerianne. The rich people probably don't carry cash. They probably only use cards. Still, I have seen similar incidents in my time and it does make you wonder about people.

 

So what's your point?

 

i believe almost nothing that gets posted here, but sometimes it's funner to just suspend disbelief and try to converse with the trolls.

 

well obviously, the first mistake was doing business with wall mart at all.
