It was a weird afternoon...


I had to run a few errands this afternoon, and the excursion turned out to be quite interesting. First I saw a guy try to buy coffee at Starbucks using an unpaid gift card he picked out of the display on the counter and handed to the cashier. When told that's not how it works, I'm pretty sure he took another from the display and asked the cashier to try that one. That was my cue to leave before things went south.

So then I went to Wal Mart - the bane of my existence - to purchase some motor oil, because as much as I hate shopping there, their oil prices are significantly lower than almost everywhere else. As I'm walking into the store, I see a guy (who will be referred to as The Wizzer from this point forward) start urinating on the front of the building/side of a soda machine, directly next to the front entrance. Wow.

I brush that off and go inside. Then I see a man who looks disgruntled who appears to be randomly taking items off the shelves and throwing them into his cart. That was a bit disturbing. I hurry to get my items and then proceed to wait for 15 minutes to get through the "speedy checkout" line, despite there only being two customers in front of me. As I'm waiting, The Wizzer cuts through the line directly in front of me, slowly pushing an empty shopping cart. I watch him walk slowly back outside through the front entrance pushing the cart. I ponder why he wouldn't simply use the restroom inside if he was planning to come in anyway; I never arrive at a good theory.

I finally get to the register and manage to pay quickly without any more weirdness. Then as I'm walking out the door, I turn and see The Wizzer, who is now sitting on said empty shopping cart, which he has laid over on its side. He calls to me and asks for money so he can "get something to eat." Let's just say I did not want to have his hands reach anywhere near mine, so I politely declined and headed to my vehicle before any more bizarre events could entrap me.

What an adventure.

P.S. - this post is begging for back-stories. Please do not disappoint me!
