This Convenience Store Clerk Faces the Strangest Question from an Old Lady

Alright, buckle up for a wild ride because this grocery store tale is about to take a hilariously unexpected turn. Picture this: our protagonist, a fresh-faced 16-year-old, embarks on a journey into the world of retail, blissfully unaware of the comedic chaos awaiting them at every turn.

Enter stage left: the quirky cast of characters that frequent the grocery store, including one particularly memorable customer who, let’s just say, marches to the beat of her own drum. Now, hold onto your shopping carts because things are about to get… interesting.

So there our hero is, diligently bagging groceries, when suddenly, they’re hit with a curveball straight out of left field. The customer in question, bless her heart, decides it’s the perfect time to drop a bombshell of a question: “Don’t you wish it was back to the cotton picking days?” Yes, you heard that right.

Cue the awkward silence and the mental gymnastics as our protagonist tries to decipher what on earth is happening. I mean, cotton picking days? Is this some sort of twisted time warp? But no, the customer clarifies, she’s talking about the good ol’ days of… slavery.

Now, if that doesn’t make you do a double-take into another dimension, I don’t know what will. Our hero, caught off guard and probably questioning their life choices up until this point, finds themselves in a precarious situation. Do they engage in a debate about the morality of slavery with a customer? Do they pretend they misheard and continue bagging groceries like nothing happened? Decisions, decisions.

But fear not, for our hero’s manager swoops in to save the day, though not without a healthy dose of confusion and concern. And just when you think things couldn’t possibly get any weirder, fate decides to sprinkle a little extra chaos into the mix.

Fast forward a week later, and lo and behold, news breaks that the enigmatic customer met an untimely demise. Now, we’re not saying karma’s a… well, you know, but let’s just say there’s a certain poetic justice to the whole situation. As our hero so eloquently puts it, “I’m not saying she deserved it, but I’m saying God’s timing is always right.”
