When i walked in i put my abg at the front they didnt allow backpacks in the store becuase of stealing. I went and grabbed some lays bbq chips and a strawberry kiwi snapple i walked back up to the front and got behind this guy in line.

"$1.29" the chashier said i watched the guy reach in his pockets and felt around.

"Shit can you hold it while i go to the car and get my wallet" the cashier nodded the guy hurriedly went to his car.

"I got it add it on to my stuff"i said the cashier nodded
