i'm bringing my 26.2 oval bumper sticker up to the counter, trying not to look nervous. buying some power-gel and a running magazine with me to make it look natural. cashier is about to scan the sticker, then she stops and gives me a challenging look with narrowed eyes.

point of sale sets off an alert tone when the second “world’s greatest grandpa” novelty mug gets scanned.

manager comes over and tells me that these are limit 1 unless i can prove that they are both for the same grandpa

the sales clerk challenges me as I try for the 10th time to buy a "moustache rides $1" baseball cap. "sir, that's obviously a fake moustache," she says, her condescension leavened with a touch of pity. "time to let it go."

One day nearer spring
the new cute girl is working the coffee counter and no one else is up front so i take my shot and order a large black coffee. my heart sinks as berta walks out from the backroom and glowers at me, a sneer forming on her face, "he always gets cream and sugar, always..." embarrassed i lower my gaze to the ground.

as i finish affixing the "this car climbed mount washington" sticker to my car, i turn around and just my luck a friggin cop is right there. "Really," he says, "a 1981 Yugo, at 6,000 feet? I highly doubt it"

sweating, i begin to explain that there are many hills named Mt Washington several of which are only about 1,000 ft

What started out as a fun-and-flirty bumper sticker for this road trip has left me wondering how many New York drivers are just sexually frustrated

I load up all of my decoy purchases on the belt, a bag of chips, some beef jerky, two bags of skittles (one original, one orchard so I can take the green apple out of the original and replace it with the lime form the orchard), and finally a bottle of coke with the name "Jeremy" on it. I try to make conversation with the cashier but I am sweating bullets. She goes to ring up the coke and immediately asks for ID. What could I do? I could try to pretend I forgot it at home, but that never works. I sheepishly present my ID, and the cashier frowns at me. I know I am not a Jeremy, and I'll never be a Jeremy. The store manager politely asks me to leave.

A crazed man known only as the BOGO Bandit is terrorizing local grocery stores and mini-marts. Witnesses say he searches these stores for buy one get one free items and only gets one. Terry, a local man, had this to day:

Terry: The value he is leaving on the table is just unreal. I mean, I live for buy one get one sales and this man, no, this monster, is just throwing everything I stand for right back in my face. What will the poor store owners do? They can't just restock all of those free items, they will probably have to throw them away. Or worse, donate them. It's un-American, I tell ya!

One day nearer spring
i calmly place my bag of smart food on the counter and watch as the cashier rings me up.

"that will be 2 dollars and ninety nine cents sir"

i'm sweating now, looking at the change in my hand, the cashier snickers and slowly pulls the bag away from me

"you almost got me this time sir, but i'm afraid i'm going to have to ask you to leave now"

the sandwich artist at subway snorts and rolls his eyes when i ask if i could get mustard added to my sandwich. "sure, it's your money", and he leaves the wrapping unsigned

just behind me a woman wearing pearls and a fur coat minces in with an entourage and asks sergio if she could commission a cold cuts piece for her summer home.

I put my thumb up my bum and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth.


My father opens the gift revealing a "World's Greatest Dad" baseball cap from within the careless wrapping. His eyes widen and beads of sweat appear on his forehead. "Where did you get this?" he asks quietly, angrily. I say nothing. I can only say nothing. "Where did you get this!???" he yells, but he knows as well as I do the terrible things I had to do to get that hat, and how many dads had to die before he was the best.

"thanks for shopping at blue line police supply. ok so we've got body armor, a glock 19, pistol grip mossberg 500 in 12 ga, rotary grenade launcher, and a novelty teddy bear wearing a police hat. that will be $2678. can i see your department id?"
"uh, you know, i must have left it at home"
cashier sets aside teddy bear
"in that case, it will be $2670 for just the guns and armor."

All I wanted was a kids meal from the local McD's, but they have gotten so tight on security. I figured I could find a car seat at a goodwill or something and go from there. Turns out you need proof of child to by carseats now, who knew? I did find a body pillow at the goodwill that had a younger looking girl printed on the case (why on earth would someone make that pillow?). So I propped it up in the back seat and buckled it in, unless the drive thru cashier really looks maybe I can get away with it, I thought.

So anyways, long story short I am not allowed back in the McD's.

I bring up to the register two or three items I needed for my house: peanut butter, bbq sauce, wine. The cashier begins to ring them up, to make small talk I joke "Haha, this is my dinner!" Security guards escort me out.

"hey kids, how was spending the afternoon at your uncle's house?"
"it was a lot of fun for most of the day, except he made us go with him to the grocery store so he could buy like 20 boxes of trix cereal. they weren't even on sale or anything, it was kinda weird."

I've grown several basils from the grocery and also one avocado pit, so yes, I do think this is the insurance company for me, thankyouverymuch.

Oh yeah? Well if you demand "quantity" you're more than welcome to review my fridge, which several former roommates have called, and I'm quoting them here, "A total mold farm."

a newly engaged couple is planning their first meal together. as the groom-to-be heads out to the store, his betrothed calls out "oh and honey could you pick up some extra virgin olive oil?" he breaks into a heavy sweat and starts mentally calculating the driving distance to mexico.

went to buy a 70s velvet leisure suit at a thrift store. i was obviously too young, but the cashier let me buy it.

she must have hit the silent alarm, because before i got to my car 3 cops pounced on me and arrested me under the stolen velour statute.
