A major supermarket in my town is closing down for good in a couple of weeks time, as the company is making cut backs. The shop has been having a massive closing down sale over the past week, and everything is dirt cheap. I decided to pop in and see if there were any good offers. I was pleased to see there was some alcohol quite cheap and made my way to the register. Ahead of me in the line was the crankiest old bitch in the world. She was bitching at the cashier.
SC: Well, I think it is absolutely ridiculous that this place is closing down! Really awful!
C: I know ma'am...
SC: This is a small town! This is pretty much the only place I can shop! And it's closing down!
C: I know...
SC: I am on a fixed income! I can't afford to travel everywhere for my shopping! And I can't be expected to carry all my shopping on the bus!
C: I'm sorry to hear that...
SC: So WHERE am I supposed to shop?
C: I know...
SC: No, I am actually asking...where am I supposed to shop, seeing as YOU'RE closing down!
She spoke in a tone as if she was blaming the cashier for the store closing.
C: I don't know...several companies do home delivery...
SC: I don't want that! They always mess it up! What am I supposed to do?
C: Ma'am, to be blunt, I don't know, it is not my concern. This place is the only source of income I have, and I am losing my job in a weeks time...
SC: Oh, so it's all about YOU is it?
She paid for her shopping and stormed off.
