I get into the 10 Items or Fewer Line and wait my turn in back of an Indian man wearing a Wildwood Utilities Shirt. He has nothing to buy in hand so the cashier asks him if his stuff is what I have on the conveyor. The Indian man tells the male Walmart employee that he just wants some kind of cigarettes. He looks 40 or over so is not carded as to Walmart's tobacco policy of not selling tobacoo products to anyone who appears under 40 without an ID.


Anyway. After the Indian gets his cigs my stuff comes up. The total was $58.17 or so.


The male cashier -- who looks like he might need to give an ID for buying tobacco if he smokes-- tells me "That will be $58,000!" I have never seen the man before that I can recall.

So I just tell him that my $70.00 that I handed over looks like it is $70,000!!! Two people can be as crazy as one.

He looks at me as do they other men in line with some amusement.

Then he tells me that the 83 cents or so from my $70.00 is all I am going to get back.

Well the storm is getting a little loud outside and I am getting a little peeved with the cashier's humor.

Anyway. I just give him a little bit of my crazy eyes as if were imitating Robert De Niro in many of his movies.

That works and he hands over my additional $11.00 of change. A ten and a one which I put into Where's George was soon as I get home after putting in these Blu-Rays into my Ultra-Violet Collection.

Not a boring afternoon after the storm going and coming to Walmart and the bald 45 or so old male cashier with an odd sense of humor.



Was he a cigar store Indian?
