yes we can
so yesterday i'm mad dashing in and outta pathmark (i thought). now i feel old as dust b/c the cashier who looks about my age has a doo-rag on at work. ummmmm, are we wearing nightcaps on the job now? i feel left out. anteehoo, that's not my complaint. the total of the customer in front of me was $108.71. he hands the cashier $150.00. dude accidentally enters $10.50 as the amount tendered. family do i need to say what happened next? (pause for anticipointment)
doo-rag calls a manager over to "fix it" together they're trying to figure out the difference between $10.50 and $150,00 to get the register to open. the manager puts her finger in the air (as if to carry the 1) and i mean i lost it
sidebar: normally i save my crazy for inside no need to affect the genuinely innocent, how-sun-ever, the guy whose job it is to arrange, fluff and fold the magaizne rack had recently appeared behind me and chosen the base of my spine as his origin point. he caught the lashocity i'd been saving up. meanwhile, back at the mensa conference customer and i happen to look at each other and have a simultaneous blurtation: "THE CHANGE IS $41.29!!" dayum! the absolute best was the look these 2 gave us for shouting out the answer (remember the twilight zone episode where all the freaks had pig snouts and the *normal* one didn't but they treated him like the freak?)
i believe barack when he says change is coming, but first we've gotta figure out how much it is.
control center out.
