Expired coupon, you don’t have this item, wrong store, you have to buy four. That’s it, 2 coupons, Oh, an out of state check and no ID. MANAGER, checkout 3! No lady, don’t put froxen food on the candy counter. Wouldn’t you like to return those canned good? Yes lady, that’s 43 pennies. No, you can’t buy beer with food stamps.

Hey! I’ve been behind Broomie in line almost every week–guess I just somehow didn’t recognize her!

Between the coupons and Broomie’s food stamps she gets her food free.

The only other constant… is that no matter what other line you switch to, there will be another Broomie there who will take even longer.

I’d rather be stuck in line behind Broom Hilda than a woman with a herd of unruly toddlers any day.

And the manager accuses Broomie of eating a cucumber she hadn’t paid for, only to discover that it’s actually her nose.
