I simply love this. What's funny is that while I was reading my daughter stuck her head in my door and said "I'm going to the dollar store. I have given up on trying to figure out why people do and say stupid stuff.
Blessings,
Elaine

I like what Maxine, the Senior citizen cartoon character says: "I've stopped saying 'How stupid can you be?' because people are taking it as a challenge."
The timing of your daughter's announcement was classic stuff. (Did you share with her what could possibly be awaiting her there?)

I didn?t get a chance to tell her that prices are not marked.

I love it!!! As a joke, I too asked a pretty cashier "How much is this" at a dollar store. I think she must have know it was a come on and she looked at me like...Really? A funny story and memory.

Comment from Mrs. KT
Hah, Rachelle!
What a hoot!
I was with you from the moment your story began, and I can tell you with full assurance that if the two of us went shopping together, and this sort of situation presented itself, we would not be allowed back in the store!
Good grief!
Great fun!
Thank you for sharing!

Comment from Mark Valentine
"if I'm honest, I think it may have hung there in parentheses" - what a fantastic line! I think I must hang a lot of phrases in parentheses when I'm in line behind certain types at the grocery store...but I digress.
Yes, a sense of humor is a great thing to have in this world - thanks for sharing yours.

Oh my goodness, I would have burst out laughing. Intelligence is very scarce these days. Well told as always with just a hint of a swear word or two.
This one should amuse you. Hubby went to see doctor last Friday with a chest infection. She put the stethoscope on his chest he began to breathe in and out deeply as per routine. The doctor (a locum) got quite annoyed with him. "will you stop doing that," she said. "You are making a noise."

Comment from Irish Rain
I wish this was in a contest.
It's hilarious, so very real.
How many times have I thought I
was helping someone, only to have
it blow up in my face.
That 'B' word hangs in the air a lot, ha ha.
Wonderful!
Blessings...

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written flash fiction about the dollar store where the clerk are not sure about the price of all the items when it is one or two for a dollar, testing the customers patience to the brink.

Good Monday afternoon Rahcelle. I think if they gave out common sense for free, most people still wouldn't have it. I think she got agitated cause she was sure she was going to save you fifty cents. lol Good job. The last line you have G-d instead of God.

And she was damn pissy about that, too!!
I think you're very right with your Common Sense theory.
Thanks for the very fun review. xo
Comment from Sylvia Page
Hi Rachelle,
It's called dollar stores blues! Most often it is not a dollar and it can cost even more. It is just a gimmick to get more sales. She told you that sometimes they are two for a dollar making you believe you are getting a bargain. Good job.

Yes, sometimes the people in life we are forced to meet make us into models of tolerance. . . I believe we will be rewarded in the after glow. Hang in there. - Lobber
