(Scene Set; Dollar Tree, just two hours shy of closing and the bright Summertime sun is in the right place to blind our Storybook Hero, good thing he's wearing a pair of shades.)
(A bell rings ding-a-ling! to draw the attention of our Storybook Hero)
RW: (Stopping in his stocking of the toy isle) Coming!
Attention-less Customer: (sets a package of bath tissue down with a bottle of Dawn next to a bunch of stuff) Hi~! How are you?
RW: (Starting to ring up the stuff on his counter) Doing well, how are you?
Attention-less Customer: Doing okay. Blahblahblah (going on about....something....our Storybook Hero can't remember anymore. Something about the heat, I think)
RW: (hits total) Your total is $6.36, please.
Attention-less Customer: Huh? But that stuff isn't mine. (points to the stuff in the bag) The only thing that was mine was the dish soap and toilet paper.
RW: ......it's not?
Attention-less Customer: Nope~! (giggle) I'm sorry, I guess I should have paid attention!
RW: .... (Thinking: Thou Shalt Not Kill with Witnesses Present)
Wondering Customer: Oh, sorry! That's mine! I went to get sugar and I was gone longer than I thought!
RW: .... (growls under breath) ...alright. (Voids the whole thing out, rerings the Attention-less Customer's goods and sends her on her way.
Wondering Customer: You'd think that she'd have paid better attention!
RW: (Not in the mood for this) ....yeah. Second time in almost three years.
(The Line of Customers is rung through and sent on their merry way and our Storybook Hero trots down the toy isle to scream.)
