My heart screams for justice! Oh, who the hell am I kidding? Halloween night I paid a brief visit to a convenience store not far from my house. This particular store has been robbed three times since summer. Halloween night was probably not the best time to go there, but I had to get a candy bar-for me.Now here's where the injustice occurred, a couple of teenagers were hanging around the front door wearing costumes, i.e., their normal clothing. The clerk was familiar with me so he struck up a conversation while I was checking out, and then he began to ask me a bunch of stupid questions about nothing.
Come to find out it was a ploy on his part to keep me in there with him until the guys in the front left the premises. Shit, all he had to do was ask. I probably would have said, "uh, no", but at least he could have asked. I finally figured it out when the cops showed up to talk to the punks outside.
Where's the injustice you ask? I'll tell you. I at least expected a free candy bar, but nooooo! Einstein behind the counter forgot I existed once the cops showed. Still no injustice? Howz about getting tagged with a ticket for an expired inspection sticker before I could leave? What say you to that shit?! Justice my ass...

An injustice meted out by the justice-keepers. That's rich. Not half as rich, though, as that candy bar cost you in the end.
nonamedufus: I can honestly say that candy bar was the most expensive I've ever bought. Not even a discount!
Don, I believe you have a piece of paper stuck to your shirt....oh, look, it says Kick Me.
Buggys: Sometimes it feels that way. Usually, I'm would not have been nice enough to hang around and let that guy talk to me because I hate that chit chatty crap, but this time...? It cost me.
People are just so heartless. Screw all of them. I say it's every man for himself. Oh wait...better include the gals in here too.
Thanks for the laugh and have a terrific day. :)
Too bad. There you were minding you own business and BLAM, you got blindsided....there is no justice.
Sandee: Thanks and you have a great day too!
Me-Me King: I know. No justice for the just. No justice for the bold. No justice for..., well, you get my drift.
maybe this isn't nice, but...
hahahahahaha.
Stacie's Madness: That's okay. I happen to like redheads!
Gees, no thank you or anything??? Next time, I'd rob him myself. Well, if I wouldn't have to go to jail or something.
Lin: Guess the guy is just a moron. Face it. He's a convenience store clerk and social graces aren't a requirement for employment.
Damn, Don! I think you got the royal screw-over... maybe you should spread the word to the local punks that Mr. Convenience Store Clerk is a scared little girl... then just drop by for a quick visit but not buy anything... just a quick pass through...
Tattoo Jim: The clerk was robbed in the second of the three robberies. Guess he's a little gun shy. Literally! Not sure whether he was the clerk hit during the third one or not.
and then they wonder why you hate small talk...lol
