I was standing near the cash register. There were groceries already on the tape. The cashier was punching them in, and then a customer looked away from her phone (she was unloading her purchases at the time), looked closely at the cart, and started yelling in a voice that wasn’t her own.
So you’re saying it doesn’t belong to you? And it’s not your cart at all? – the cashier asked the lady.
Of course it’s not my groceries. I took an expensive sausage, cheese, mussels. And here there is no telling what’s lying around.
Instead of royal mushrooms – oyster mushrooms. I didn’t take that! So where’s my groceries? Her hair swayed in time with her words. And she was clearly dissatisfied with what had happened.
After that, she looked at her beau. He just pretended he didn’t know her at all and was clearly embarrassed by what was happening. He even blushed.
“Go look for our groceries! Take a look! They’re trying to make me buy these promotional products!” – the lady went on to resent me.
Everyone in line stood and listened to her cries.
You don’t have to look. Here they are. The products are ours. – said her companion, who was not distinguished neither by his height nor his build.
Are you normal? How can it be ours? I have a good memory of my purchases. Are you out of your mind? Go and find it! – The fat lady wouldn’t give up.
But he didn’t move.
What actually happened was this. The woman in front was throwing expensive groceries into the cart. And the husband, carrying these products, was shocked by the price tags. He ended up throwing out the more expensive ones and putting the cheaper ones with red price tags instead.
My wife didn’t see what he was doing. She kept shopping and talking on the phone at the same time.
And when they got to the cash register, the new merchandise came as a surprise to his wife.
Why are you standing there like you’re standing there? Go find my sausage and cheese and stuff. – the woman wouldn’t let up.
Darling, there’s no need to swear. I’m the one who switched the groceries. Why overpay for sausages and cheeses? And the candy is all the same. Instead of shrimp, it’s mussels. Even though they’re small. You’re the one who decided to save money recently, – said the husband.
Oh, you… shameless. Why are you doing this to me? Do you want me to lose my hands? Are you getting widowed before your time? What kind of economy are you talking about? I’m not going to save on my health! Eat this rotten stuff yourself! And cheap sausages too! – At this point, the woman takes the cheese and throws it at the man.
He dodges and the cheese hits another customer. Everyone else could barely contain themselves from laughing. In short, all the products gradually returned to the basket. And the woman armed herself with a new cart and returned to the grocery shelves. And she pushed her husband ahead of her. And she could see that she was still going to get rid of him at home.
