I just got out of class this evening and decided to stop by the grocery store on my way home. I know that isn't exciting, but I did feel the conversation I just had with the cashier was worth commenting on. The following conversation really did just happen....
Cashier: "Hi, do you have a Brookshire's card?"
Me: "No, I don't. Thanks."
Cashier: "Would you like to sign up for one?"
Me: "No, thank you."
Cashier: "You sure, why not?"
Me (shocked she asked that): "I'm about to move and I don't think you have a location near me."
Cashier: "Oh yeah, where you moving?"
Me (shocked she just asked that too): "Just to Madison area."
Cashier: "Oh really, why you moving? It safer there or something?"
Me (again, WHAT! why are you still asking me questions): "No, just moved back to town and just bought a house out there."
Cashier: "Oh, where you stay at now" (the grammar is exact)
Me (clearly knowing I'm not going to tell her where I live): "Between here and Old Canton at my Dad's old house" (guess that was too much information)
Cashier: "Oh, where is your dad? He deceased?"
Me (WHAT!? SERIOUSLY!?): "Huh? WHAT? Nooo, he just got remarried and bought a house." (I mean seriously did she really ask that!?)
That was about the extent of the conversation before I decided to grab my groceries and run. Seriously though, I am still in shock! I guess I'm just used to my New York grocery cashiers that don't speak a word to you because they want you in and out as quick as possible. I just thought I would share the ridiculousness of this conversation, because I found it quite ridiculous on many levels.
