thank you phil and All Done and Clearskies and others :)
these stories are very very nice. I did have a real chuckle. that's quite an accomplishment.
I can't think of any goofy anecdotes off the top of my head. Oh wait. I got one!
A couple years back, me, the parents, the brothers and our significant others were spending the holidays in a condo on the beach. We were going to have a 'fiesta' and so I was going to make sangria. Problem- when I got to the checkout register with my husband and 2 bottles of wine, I realized I had not brought my ID. I gave the wine to my husband, but it was too late. The cashier said that in order to buy wine (at Super-Walmart) everyone in the party had to have ID. My husband said: even if we had a baby with us? "yes sir" we were pissy. We said- you mean, all eight of us came in here and we all have to show ID in order to buy 2 bottles of wine. "yes". we were pissed. So, I run to the back of the store where Mom is kind of lollygagging around... "psst! Mom, I need you to take these bottles of wine and pretend like you're all alone. you DON'T know me, just go to the checkout register and pay for them- I forgot my ID. "oh... sure... absentmindedly".
Mom comes back a few minutes later, livid. She says that she went to the checkout line, and the woman took one look at her and said "no way lady, you're with that drunken family from Tennessee". My mom was completely baffled, said that she had never been treated so rudely in her life. Where's the manager? unfortunately that cashier was also in charge, it being 10 at night, super walmart is somewhat sparsely staffed.
Next thing I know, my husband comes rolling up to the front of the store, pushing a super wal-mart cart filled with all manner of wine bottles, at least a hundred of them. "I want to buy all of these, he defiantly announced"
As he rolled closer and closer to the checkout line, the fierce cashier/manager and the security guy form a blockade and say that he's not allowed to buy any alcohol, because he's with the drunken party. He said, "fine" and let the cart continue rolling as we "drunkards" left the super-wal-mart.
came back the next day, bought the wine, and a pinata too. no problem. We even brought a 17 year-old with us lol
sorry, my story kinda long. I'm not so good at telling funny stories
