My friend put herself through college as a telephone operator and she
got her dad every now and then. She pretended he was a stranger
because he was so awful, being verbally abusive and swearing.

It sucks. I hope she doesn't have to put up with that any more.

He was a real SOB, one of those people who wasn't mourned very long
after he passed.

Pardon me, but shouldn't that be MR. ASSHOLE, as he was helping pay the
cashier's pay? What would she do if they decided to eliminate the express
line?

So, it's being an asshole to go into a business and leave some money, and
expect them to be a little flexible on some of the "rules"?

Color me asshole, then. I think the old guy and I would have sat at the old
farts bench by the bathroom, and come up with lots of other ideas. I'd like
to meet the old gentleman.

Like spilling a bottle of tomato juice down the whole length of the feminine
hygiene aisle ............ things like that...........................

I was the cashier.

And I'd have been moved to another line, or given something else to do.
