It
was a Saturday afternoon, and Ray had rushed down to the local supermarket
to hurriedly pick up some hamburger rolls, chips and a few condiments.
The big college game was going to be on, so he was having a few
friends over to watch it.
The
store was loaded with shoppers and as he headed for the six item
express lane, the only one that didn't have a long line, a woman
completely ignoring the overhead sign slipped into the check-out
line just in front of him pushing a cart piled high with groceries.
Ray
was quietly fuming at the anticipated delay. But the elderly cashier
beckoned the woman to come forward, looked into the cart and asked
ever so sweetly, "So Dearie, which six items would you like
to buy?" |
