Baggin' It

Walgreens. One of my least favorite drug stores, mainly becaus ethe one I often visit is packed due to its downtown Boston location. However, when I walked in this afternoon, it was empty, and I just knew something would be odd during my trip.

I walked in hoping to get a Powerbar or 2, so I can enjoy an afternoon snack before my workout. There I go, picking up 2 powerbars. 2. Two. Single packs, not a box, just 2, $1.19 powerbars. Yes, you guessed it, something weird will happen.

I proceed to the checkout where the lady in front of me refuses to get out of the way before she can close her change purse and throw it in her regular purse. After I try to place the powerbars (2 of them) around her fat and sweaty body, she moves, and Darnell helps ring me up. The damage? Something like $2.50, because I only bought 2 powerbars. I make the transaction, get the change, receipt, and my 2 powerbars. Double bagged.

And if you wondered, the powerbars did not rip through the bag. They made it back to the office alive.

Fucking Darnell.
