40 cases

In a recent trip to Wally World, I had an experience I will never forget. Not only are my visits to that store usually filled with amazing sights and sounds of redneck families looking for a bargain,  but I usually spend my time avoiding people I may know. I mean, God forbid I may actually have to engage in an awkward conversation with someone I really don't care to catch up with. It is not unusual for me to literally turn the other way and go the complete opposite direction of where I need to go if I, in fact, possibly see someone I know. But that was not the problem this time. Like I said, this particular trip was unlike any other I had ever partaken in. I had just left the gym after my daily workout, stopped at Gamestop to ask a question, and the stopped at Wally World to pick up a few things for my Halloween costume I was making. Luckily for me I had not seen anyone in particular I knew. So I get in line to check out. Being that I only had a couple things with me, I got in the express line and for some reason it was kind of busy. I soon find out why.

As I stand there in my own little world, my jackass sense is tingling. To my immediate right are two people... well two and a half people really. There is this odd looking thing of what I thought was a man next to a very large woman screaming violently about something so absurd that I couldn't even believe it. This large woman was yelling so loudly that I honestly thought the pressure from her diaphragm was going to make her insanely unattractive breasts burst out of her inappropriately low cut shirt.... I swear to God I thought it was going to happen. It was like a Jello commercial. This woman was having an utter hissy fit about what was in her not one, not two, but three shopping carts packed to the brim full of soda pop. SODA POP! These people literally had three carts of soda pop. This woman claimed that, and I quote,  " these people are treating me like shit." Now you have to understand, I came into this whole situation with a clear mind and not knowing exactly what her complaint was. So instead of actually checking out, I stand back and watch the fireworks.

Her claim of these people "treating her like shit" was obviously justified. I mean, these people were only dealing with this cow of a woman, who apparently has a fetish for Pepsi products, with nothing but a smile. If I were that cashier, I wouldn't have had a job by the end of this. Anyways... This woman claims that the grocery store down the street had a better price for these 24 packs of soda but did not actually have any proof of that. You see, Wally World has a policy, if you didn't already know, that they match any competitors price if you have an actual add. So since she didn't have any proof, they actually could not give her the discount. Nooooow you can see the problem. The large woman couldn't save a couple dimes so she was causing a ruckus. How many cases did she have in those shopping carts you ask? Luckily I know that answer because she was literally screaming it. 40 cases. That is almost 1,000 freaking cans of Pepsi. Who the hell does that?

Now at this point, this battle has gone on for a good ten minutes. I am now actually leaning on a wall laughing to myself watching this. It was honestly one of the silliest things I have ever seen in a long time. Who the hell was that soda for? Them? I don't think that behemoth of a woman actually knows that soda pop is very bad for you. Needless to say, they did not get the discount and their terrible no good very bad trip to Wally World was foiled by upper management. My question is, why the hell didn't they just go to the other store?  Outrageous people...This is why I love my life.
