Paging Charlotte On Aisle 5
PHARMACY | RIGHT | JANUARY 16, 2013
(I am at the cashier, ringing up a long line of people. I notice when customers walk in, they suddenly skirt around the theft detectors. A lady approaches the counter.)
Lady: “There is a big spider in the entrance!”
(Note: I don’t want to leave the counter because of the enormous line.)
Me: “Okay, cool.”
Lady: “You have to kill it. You work here.”
Me: “It’s not hurting anyone.”
(The lady’s husband chimes in.)
Husband: “Kill it, she’s right!”
(Everyone in the line seems to agree with the lady and her husband.)
Me: “Okay, I’ll just move it outside.”
Husband: “No, kill it!”
Me: “No, it wont do any harm out there in the parking lot.”
(I move the spider outside.)
Lady: “I can’t take it anymore!”
Me: “Can’t take what?”
(Suddenly, the lady grabs a basket made for carrying products outside and finds the spider. She starts violently smashing the red basket on the spider.)
Lady: “Why is it not dying?!”
(It turns out the basket has little legs on the bottom, preventing it from making contact with the spider. She eventually figures this out and kills it, but not before it charges her one last time and causes her to flip out!)
