Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, here we go again. I was in a position
and have that thought of what and how would the
rest of the show handle this? And this is just
my life now get into these situations and I'm like,
what do you guys? What are you guys doing in
this situation? It was a very uncomfortable, weird, awkward situation
(00:23):
at the grocery store with the checker.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
We ain't done yet.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
It's time for the p one podcast. Over a year
completely uncensored and unacting filtered except for that part would
have the the show's after show starts. Now. Yeah, So
had my weekly grocery shopping trip yesterday and I am
(00:51):
now I've realized. You know, I'm a pretty consistent guy.
You know, when I go to a place, I go
to the same place every time. Whatever. My grocery story
shopping is kind of all over the place. It's whatever
is kind of convenient for me, and it doesn't really
make a lot of sense. Yeah, so I've told you
guys before, Big coupon.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Guy, Big coupons.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Love me some coupons. They get some freshies. I'm headed
off to Ralph's the paper coupons. It's so wild, I
don't think so. I always wanted.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
I always try to get you to bring a little
coupon book, but I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
I don't know, don't need it. I got my routine down,
and then the the Albertson.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
Await real quick, you're at the dinner table. Where do
you cut the coupons?
Speaker 1 (01:38):
You get? The you get?
Speaker 2 (01:39):
You see the coupons, where do you cut?
Speaker 1 (01:40):
I don't cut them. These are mailers, and they're like
those perforated tear aways.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
Just tear them out.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
So when do you tear them before you go?
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Yeah? Obviously, So where do you do it at?
Speaker 2 (01:52):
In the man cave?
Speaker 1 (01:53):
No dinner, No, like right at the counter right there there?
And then I look at my list, look at look
at the coupon and do we need we need this?
We do? Okay, save a couple of cents there. I
(02:14):
wonder I bought her some chip Mates there? Like the chips.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
I never had a gross I mean nothing, love them.
They sound so stale and horrible.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Only it's crazy ships. She'd fall down. They're not two
dollars more. She has chip Mates.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
That's if you love it.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Maybe if she maybe instead of instead of bingo one night,
chip in Really, I.
Speaker 5 (02:53):
Wonder what percentage of the people at the grocery store
are still using the paper coupons versus the digital you.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
Do they ever say anything to you? Do you ever
get comments on the coupons.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Like what like judgment? I agree, how fucking awesome are you?
Speaker 5 (03:08):
Yeah, like, oh, you're still clipping coupon.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
No, they would never do that, but sometimes they'll go
ooh you got a good one there.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Oh wow, oh that feel good? Huh oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
If you like, there's this one. It just doesn't often come,
but every once in a while it comes. You'll get
you'll save like twenty bucks off your order if it's
like two hundred dollars or more. And you know, my
weekly trip is usually about it's like right around two
hundred and so if I got to go over a
little bit so I can get twenty bucks off, that
one is fucking great. Twenty bucks off.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
So what do you go over for?
Speaker 5 (03:42):
Well?
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Look, you know, and if I'm like at one ninety whatever,
and then.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
You say, okay, I'll get the good chips, ahoy for ground.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
In No, oh, I mean give me a bottle of
wine or something. Oh personal, I got you know, I
need like nine bucks. You know, what I mean. Wow, Yeah,
she ain't getting nothing. Oh okay, So no, I end
my weekly chip yesterday, and you know, I've been bouncing around,
which is weird for me. So like I three weeks
(04:10):
in a row have gone to the movies. How weird
is that? That is really weird? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
And so there's an Albertson's like right next to the
movie theater that I go to, so I've been going
there a lot. And then like over where I get
my haircut at, there's a Vonds across the street. So
I've been going to Vaughan's and I'm fucking all over
the place. It's so not like me.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
Pretty well, Can I ask a random question? Don't know
why this just popped in my head? What side do
you start? Do you start produce or do you start.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
I'm a left side starter, doesn't matter what it is,
always left.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
So whatever store you're in, you're starting on the left side,
and you're working your way over.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Even if you enter on the right, like sometimes they
have they do have the entrance over towards one side
or the other.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Right side's weird, right side's weird. Wow, Now I'm fucking
going left.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
Always left side I'll always start produce, no matter what side.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
It's all.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
When I was a kid, I I start produce my
mom and she'd always go produce first.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
I just assume that's what you did.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
But why, But why do you go produce?
Speaker 5 (05:07):
I don't know, Like, honestly, I don't know. An it
got me thinking, does other do other people do that?
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Do other things? When I go produce first, I don't
like it because, first of all, if it's left, I
have to go produce. But I don't like it because
it's hard to arrange your cart and not get produce smashed.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
Yeah, I normally put it in the kiddy seat and
then after you go there, and then after my cart
fills up, I'll kind of put it on top of things.
But again I don't know why.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
So you always go in whatever's left? Wowwers left? You
not say it's right or wrong?
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Right down the middle you're judging. Emily just goes in
watch right.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Down she'll go, or she'll go like whatever.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Goes right in the back around third aisle.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
I'm gonna go to seventh, back to sixth.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
That doesn't buy anything, leaves goes with another story.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
This is just no very stupid I know that if
I love the grocery store, you're fish.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
You've never been more offended in your life. Never you
start produce first?
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Absolutely?
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Why? Why? Absolutely?
Speaker 5 (06:08):
Why?
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Absolutely?
Speaker 3 (06:11):
I don't know who I said absolutely for some reason.
The same thing as my mom always with her, and
she'd always go.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
So what do you do with that lettuce? Get smashed?
Speaker 5 (06:20):
No?
Speaker 3 (06:20):
No, no, I stacked things in a very particular way.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
You guys always go freezer last, right.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Uh, freezer's in the middle. I'm going left to right. Oh,
I always. It's the smartest thing to do, don't get
me wrong, But but I'm not coming all the way
to the right and then go back to the middle.
That's fucking insane. Ice cream probably, no, whatever, I anything
I don't like. It's yeah, it's cold in the store.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
Yeah, you hit the freezer and then you pick up
the pace after that.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
But I didn't say freezer last.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
You're probably right, I agree, but I don't give a.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Fucking grocery basses.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
You know what we're doing. IM sorry? Uh So I
had my grocery shopping chip. Now this one was intentional.
I had coupons. I'm ready to go, so I go
to the store, do my thing, get all my ship
and it was a pretty decent amount, pretty decent trip,
(07:23):
so I got all my stuff. I score when I
see that a checker has nobody in their line. I
only shop on Saturday or Sunday, and I mean unless
somebody opens one up. This never happened. So the fact
that I was there and I was the first one
on the belt, I'm like, fuck yes and nailed it,
(07:45):
killing that one. So I load everything up, scanning everything,
and then we get to the point of where I'm
going to pay and all that stuff. And I did
like notice and think it was kind of strange that usually,
you know, they're kind of bagging as they go, if
there's no bagger, if it's just the checker, they because
you know whatever, it just saves them time.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
I guess they have bags in front of them, the checker,
and then obviously the bagger has bags in front of them,
so like they can be like, sure, but I bring
my own bags, okay, come on.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
Yeah. Well, and especially if you have a big shopping
trip like Eddie, they're kind of bagging as you go
because the area fills up.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
You know, mine was just stacking up and I could
see it and I'm like, wow, this is gonna take
a while to bag all this stuff because I don't
know where the bag. There's no bagger, and so it's
just this dude. And so I'm at the point where
I got to pay. Well, first he's scanning, and then
I'm gonna pay.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
And so then you got to hand them your your
discount club card because we all are no.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
I don't hand it. I scan it.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
You scan it.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Yeah, phone number like everybody else else scan that car.
I put Albertsons is phone only you know where they
put in the phone number? Yeah, this is a card member.
Speaker 5 (08:58):
He remember it sounds really important. Look at that Look
at that ship, and then you.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
See all this for the things going down a dick again.
Come on, keep it coming, keep it coming.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
It's not making more money.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
It's like a like a fucking slap machine. Keep going
to the chairs.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
Yeah, yeah, let's go.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
It feels good nailing it. And now I'm getting to
the plaint where we got to pay, and all these
things are going on, and I'm noticing there's no bagging
going on, and I'm and I'm like, wait, am I
am I bagging? Because you know, you give that weird
point of where it's like, okay, there's no bagger, this
is a big order. All go on the other side
(09:50):
and help you out. And I'm bagging. This is always uncomfortable.
Do they want me to do this or do they
hate it?
Speaker 5 (09:56):
They have no idea, I have no idea, And then
I feel like I'm taking the stuff they were going
to put in a bag.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Have you ever done the thing where you both reached
for the same I'm sorry, I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, I'm sorry. Sorry,
that's really weird.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Yeah, I've always thought about that a bag, but I
don't care if they're like upsead about it. An you
want to get you have to do something in my hands.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Okay, that's a little it's extreme. Yeah, I never know
that situation, and I usually make an uncomfortable comment like, oh,
I probably help you out here like this move hope
you know whatever.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Something go back here.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
I'm not getting paid for this. Sorry, And so I'm like, okay,
what's going on? Like what this guy hasn't even started
bagging yet, and the whole transaction thing is like happening,
and I'm like look, so I finally look up and like,
notice dude is on his phone and he's texting and
(10:54):
while I'm standing there and I'm like, okay, well, you know,
let me pay. And then once that's done, he's obviously
going to get off his phone and start bagging. He doesn't.
He stays on his phone and he's just sitting there
texting as I'm standing there. So now I'm done, I've paid,
I've done everything, and not one of my groceries has
(11:15):
been bagged and im and then at one point he goes, finishes,
puts it in his pocket and I'm like, okay, here
we go. Oh wait, they just respond takes it back out,
that starts fucking texting crazy, and I'm like, uh, okay,
this is fucking wild, Like how do you handle that?
(11:38):
Oh God? Do you say something to the guy? Do
you complain to a manager? Do you just go back
there and bag? What do you do? I have no idea.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
I would have said something to him.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
To the guy, I would have been like, oh, are
you going to help bag the groceries or do you
want me to do it? I mean, if it was me,
I would have started bagging myself because coming out of
my skin, I'm sitting there, You're yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
It was a young kid, I say kid, but you know,
I mean he was probably move over Ashton. He's like
getting probably young, twenties, twenties and just young. I mean
they're addicted to their phones, so I sort of get it.
But I'm also like, you're at your job.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
And was as assistant manager of McDonald's to this day
and age.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
You see something on their phone clearly not helping you.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
It's got to be a rule. I would imagine you're
not allowed to. I'd like to. I didn't have that power.
I wish I did. There would be nobody left left leaning,
well cleaning. I know, I just took a brat. I
get out, Hey Trump, I just took a brat your
(12:49):
hairs and everything, and get the fun. That's definitely true.
I'm wearing a hair net. Yeah. So yeah, how do
you handle this guy? You who don't have confrontation with anybody? Yeah?
So nice just standing there?
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Yes, she offers a text forum.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Yeah, so are we taking over?
Speaker 5 (13:04):
Bro?
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (13:05):
Ninety nine percent of the time I will just immediately
start bagging my own stuff and just kind of like
roll my eyes and then walk out of there. But
there is that one percent of time you can get
sky where either I think I'm being funny or like
passive aggressive.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
You think you're being funny, but you're all coming off
extremely and more aggressive than that.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
But I think I'm trying to like I'm trying to
kind of make a shitty comment but pretend like I'm
being funny. Yeah, so I would probably say something like, ooh,
something good.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Going on there.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
As I'm like, as I'm like bagging up.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
My shit, that's horrible.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Yeah, Like I think like there.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
Would be if if you catch me on the wrong
day and I.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Got a little extra it's just weird just lately.
Speaker 5 (13:52):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it could. It could happen, so that
that would be where I'd go. I'd be like, ooh,
something juicy, what's going on here?
Speaker 1 (13:59):
So no, so I'm feeling my blood start to boil,
and I'm getting to the point of where I'm gonna
say something and I'm gonna say and it's not gonna
go well, you know, it's gonna be one of these
things like dude, are you gonna you know, get off
your phone. Sorry. And then I see a manager who's
(14:21):
over at the you know that whatever, the lottery spot
or whatever that always busy with keys, so many doing
over there getting changed or something.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
They're always busy, They're like run.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Around, and so I see them over there and I'm like,
I'm gonna say something to that. I'm gonna complain. I'm
going I'm going top level because it's bullshit. And as
all of these things are about to happen, guess what happens.
Bagger comes up. Okay, the bagger boy comes up and
he's on it. This fucking guy, really, Hey, how you doing?
(14:56):
Having a good day? I mean, he's nice and starts
putting ship in well dip ships, still texting, oh yeah,
oh yeah. Then finally puts it away and like as
annoyed that he's now having to bag a couple of times.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
And I'm like, wow, see if that guy would have
came up, the second guy and that dude was still texting.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
There's no doubt.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
In my mind when I see younger guys this kind
of I have no problem saying something to younger guys.
I would one hundred percent say does this guy always text?
Doubt in my mind, I would have said, especially especially
the younger guys, I would.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
This guy always text me?
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Like friends?
Speaker 4 (15:42):
It doesn't matter because I'm calling calling him out.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Well yeah, I ended up not having to bag my groceries,
you know, and I didn't have a weird conversation like Sky,
all right,
Well, here we go again. I was in a position
and have that thought of what and how would the
rest of the show handle this? And this is just
my life now get into these situations and I'm like,
what do you guys? What are you guys doing in
this situation? It was a very uncomfortable, weird, awkward situation
(00:23):

watch right.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Down she'll go, or she'll go like whatever.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Goes right in the back around third aisle.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
I'm gonna go to seventh, back to sixth.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
That doesn't buy anything, leaves goes with another story.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
This is just no very stupid I know that if
I love the grocery store, you're fish.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
You've never been more offended in your life. Never you
start produce first?
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Absolutely?
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Why? Why? Absolutely?
Speaker 5 (06:08):
Why?
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Absolutely?
Speaker 3 (06:11):
I don't know who I said absolutely for some reason.
The same thing as my mom always with her, and
she'd always go.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
So what do you do with that lettuce? Get smashed?
Speaker 5 (06:20):
No?
Speaker 3 (06:20):
No, no, I stacked things in a very particular way.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
You guys always go freezer last, right.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Uh, freezer's in the middle. I'm going left to right. Oh,
I always. It's the smartest thing to do, don't get
me wrong, But but I'm not coming all the way
to the right and then go back to the middle.
That's fucking insane. Ice cream probably, no, whatever, I anything
I don't like. It's yeah, it's cold in the store.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
Yeah, you hit the freezer and then you pick up
the pace after that.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
But I didn't say freezer last.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
You're probably right, I agree, but I don't give a.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Fucking grocery basses.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
You know what we're doing. IM sorry? Uh So I
had my grocery shopping chip. Now this one was intentional.
I had coupons. I'm ready to go, so I go
to the store, do my thing, get all my ship
and it was a pretty decent amount, pretty decent trip,
(07:23):
so I got all my stuff. I score when I
see that a checker has nobody in their line. I
only shop on Saturday or Sunday, and I mean unless
somebody opens one up. This never happened. So the fact
that I was there and I was the first one
on the belt, I'm like, fuck yes and nailed it,
(07:45):
killing that one. So I load everything up, scanning everything,
and then we get to the point of where I'm
going to pay and all that stuff. And I did
like notice and think it was kind of strange that usually,
you know, they're kind of bagging as they go, if
there's no bagger, if it's just the checker, they because
you know whatever, it just saves them time.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
I guess they have bags in front of them, the checker,
and then obviously the bagger has bags in front of them,
so like they can be like, sure, but I bring
my own bags, okay, come on.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
Yeah. Well, and especially if you have a big shopping
trip like Eddie, they're kind of bagging as you go
because the area fills up.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
You know, mine was just stacking up and I could
see it and I'm like, wow, this is gonna take
a while to bag all this stuff because I don't
know where the bag. There's no bagger, and so it's
just this dude. And so I'm at the point where
I got to pay. Well, first he's scanning, and then
I'm gonna pay.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
And so then you got to hand them your your
discount club card because we all are no.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
I don't hand it. I scan it.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
You scan it.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Yeah, phone number like everybody else else scan that car.
I put Albertsons is phone only you know where they
put in the phone number? Yeah, this is a card member.
Speaker 5 (08:58):
He remember it sounds really important. Look at that Look
at that ship, and then you.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
See all this for the things going down a dick again.
Come on, keep it coming, keep it coming.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
It's not making more money.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
It's like a like a fucking slap machine. Keep going
to the chairs.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
Yeah, yeah, let's go.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
It feels good nailing it. And now I'm getting to
the plaint where we got to pay, and all these
things are going on, and I'm noticing there's no bagging
going on, and I'm and I'm like, wait, am I
am I bagging? Because you know, you give that weird
point of where it's like, okay, there's no bagger, this
is a big order. All go on the other side
(09:50):
and help you out. And I'm bagging. This is always uncomfortable.
Do they want me to do this or do they
hate it?
Speaker 5 (09:56):
They have no idea, I have no idea, And then
I feel like I'm taking the stuff they were going
to put in a bag.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Have you ever done the thing where you both reached
for the same I'm sorry, I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, I'm sorry. Sorry,
that's really weird.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Yeah, I've always thought about that a bag, but I
don't care if they're like upsead about it. An you
want to get you have to do something in my hands.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Okay, that's a little it's extreme. Yeah, I never know
that situation, and I usually make an uncomfortable comment like, oh,
I probably help you out here like this move hope
you know whatever.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Something go back here.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
I'm not getting paid for this. Sorry, And so I'm like, okay,
what's going on? Like what this guy hasn't even started
bagging yet, and the whole transaction thing is like happening,
and I'm like look, so I finally look up and like,
notice dude is on his phone and he's texting and
(10:54):
while I'm standing there and I'm like, okay, well, you know,
let me pay. And then once that's done, he's obviously
going to get off his phone and start bagging. He doesn't.
He stays on his phone and he's just sitting there
texting as I'm standing there. So now I'm done, I've paid,
I've done everything, and not one of my groceries has
(11:15):
been bagged and im and then at one point he goes, finishes,
puts it in his pocket and I'm like, okay, here
we go. Oh wait, they just respond takes it back out,
that starts fucking texting crazy, and I'm like, uh, okay,
this is fucking wild, Like how do you handle that?
(11:38):
Oh God? Do you say something to the guy? Do
you complain to a manager? Do you just go back
there and bag? What do you do? I have no idea.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
I would have said something to him.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
To the guy, I would have been like, oh, are
you going to help bag the groceries or do you
want me to do it? I mean, if it was me,
I would have started bagging myself because coming out of
my skin, I'm sitting there, You're yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
It was a young kid, I say kid, but you know,
I mean he was probably move over Ashton. He's like
getting probably young, twenties, twenties and just young. I mean
they're addicted to their phones, so I sort of get it.
But I'm also like, you're at your job.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
And was as assistant manager of McDonald's to this day
and age.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
You see something on their phone clearly not helping you.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
It's got to be a rule. I would imagine you're
not allowed to. I'd like to. I didn't have that power.
I wish I did. There would be nobody left left leaning,
well cleaning. I know, I just took a brat. I
get out, Hey Trump, I just took a brat your
(12:49):
hairs and everything, and get the fun. That's definitely true.
I'm wearing a hair net. Yeah. So yeah, how do
you handle this guy? You who don't have confrontation with anybody? Yeah?
So nice just standing there?
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Yes, she offers a text forum.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Yeah, so are we taking over?
Speaker 5 (13:04):
Bro?
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (13:05):
Ninety nine percent of the time I will just immediately
start bagging my own stuff and just kind of like
roll my eyes and then walk out of there. But
there is that one percent of time you can get
sky where either I think I'm being funny or like
passive aggressive.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
You think you're being funny, but you're all coming off
extremely and more aggressive than that.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
But I think I'm trying to like I'm trying to
kind of make a shitty comment but pretend like I'm
being funny. Yeah, so I would probably say something like, ooh,
something good.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Going on there.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
As I'm like, as I'm like bagging up.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
My shit, that's horrible.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Yeah, Like I think like there.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
Would be if if you catch me on the wrong
day and I.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Got a little extra it's just weird just lately.
Speaker 5 (13:52):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it could. It could happen, so that
that would be where I'd go. I'd be like, ooh,
something juicy, what's going on here?
Speaker 1 (13:59):
So no, so I'm feeling my blood start to boil,
and I'm getting to the point of where I'm gonna
say something and I'm gonna say and it's not gonna
go well, you know, it's gonna be one of these
things like dude, are you gonna you know, get off
your phone. Sorry. And then I see a manager who's
(14:21):
over at the you know that whatever, the lottery spot
or whatever that always busy with keys, so many doing
over there getting changed or something.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
They're always busy, They're like run.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Around, and so I see them over there and I'm like,
I'm gonna say something to that. I'm gonna complain. I'm
going I'm going top level because it's bullshit. And as
all of these things are about to happen, guess what happens.
Bagger comes up. Okay, the bagger boy comes up and
he's on it. This fucking guy, really, Hey, how you doing?
(14:56):
Having a good day? I mean, he's nice and starts
putting ship in well dip ships, still texting, oh yeah,
oh yeah. Then finally puts it away and like as
annoyed that he's now having to bag a couple of times.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
And I'm like, wow, see if that guy would have
came up, the second guy and that dude was still texting.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
There's no doubt.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
In my mind when I see younger guys this kind
of I have no problem saying something to younger guys.
I would one hundred percent say does this guy always text?
Doubt in my mind, I would have said, especially especially
the younger guys, I would.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
This guy always text me?
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Like friends?
Speaker 4 (15:42):
It doesn't matter because I'm calling calling him out.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Well yeah, I ended up not having to bag my groceries,
you know, and I didn't have a weird conversation like Sky,
all right,
