Saturday At The Shops

Grocery shopping is part of my weekend tasks whilst not on tour.

Generally I like to head out early to avoid the crowds.

I arrived at the checkout at around 7.23 am.

Morning how's your day been so far?

enquires the young checkout fella.

Crickey I've only just gotten out of bed!

Okay I replied noting he had little interest in my reply as he began scanning my items but not before having a swig of water out of his 2 litre water bottle.

Do you want any bags?

The answer was obvious and I pointed to several bags I had already placed on counter.

This young fellow (similar but not as attractive as Alfred pictured above) was i think just edging past fourteen years of age, shortish ,a bit podgy [i am being generous here]

freckles and his eyes were just a little bit far apart and no smile to speak of.

Another swig of water.

Got any plans for the weekend?

He asked not waiting for a response as weighed my shallots and recorded them as brown onions (small win for Maxie)

Generally at this point I would quickly utter-

Nah Nothing Planned.

However-

Actually I'm heading into Northbridge and getting on the beers then hitting the Nightclubs ,scoring some Cocaine pick up some chicks for some early morning action.

that's about it nothing special.

another swig of water

Do you have flybuys?

No I do not!

that will be only $278.60 today cash or card?

Gee wizz how cheap for my 19 items!

I scanned my card got my receipt.

Too easy he said, Have a good one.

This started me thinking that maybe he had listened and was wishing me luck?

Probably not.

Where the hell did this constant sipping of water come from?

IKnow there is some global warming kicking around but this is out of hand.

And another thing why do some Idiots think it is OK to not have their Pooch on a lead in areas that state dogs have to be on leads.

Also why do smokers in alfresco areas think it is helpful to extend their cigarette hand low behind your chair so the smoke can waft up your nose?

Not to mention the clowns on short flights want to recline their seats.

The Bride brought this to my attention which is mainly true and funny.

Back in the day you would see children and teenagers on push bikes. but now it is only Meth Head blokes on bikes (I don't think they buy them from Bike Force)

Max (not) On Tour
