Xbox

I go through phases with things.  Right now i'm getting back into playing my XBox.  After being bored to death all day during useless briefings I stopped at the BX to pick up some trash bags and while I was there I picked up "Halo: Reach."  Halo is the reason I started playing XBox so I thought I would give this game a try.  It came out about six months ago.  

I go up to the counter with my trash bags, dental floss, and video game.

Cashier: "Wow, I haven't seen anyone buy this game in FOREVER!"

Me: "Uh...ok."

Cashier: "This has been out awhile."

Me: " Ok, I understand that but I haven't played it yet." 

A line is forming behind me while he stands there holding the game, not ringing it up, and staring at myself and the game with judgement.

I turn to the Sgt standing behind me who i don't know and he just offers a "I have no idea." shrug.

Cashier: "Ya know I think it's cheaper at Walmart."

Me: "I'm not at Walmart! I'm HERE."

Cashier: "Well I don't think I can mark it down."

Me: "I DON'T CARE! It's worth it to me not to drive the extra ten minutes and have to actually step inside Walmart soooo..."

Cashier: (Shrugs) "If you're sure..."

I put my Debit card at the top of the slide.

Me: "Are ya done because I'm swiping my card now."

He finally rang up the video game.
