Dollar Store Smackdown! What is it With Big Gals And Spandex, Anyway?  |
| |
| This is a recounting of an incident that I witnessed while shopping at a dollar store about a year ago... it's taken me 'til now to stop laughing my "A" off, so I can type... I love the dollar stores around here... They are places where a guy who loves to cook-could find some really great bargains on those crowded shelves: Peruvian Vacu-sealed sealed coffee sells for $8.00 a pound elsewhere, here it's only $1.00! Frozen Keta Salmon fillets, 4-5 ounces, $3.99 elsewhere, here it's a buck... ditto for gourmet olives, tea, cookies (I love the fudge-stuffed ones) and 102 ounce soda (Ginger Ale)... Great shopping for good stuff is a win-win for me! :) Now, this particular store happens to be in a somewhat dicey neighborhood... the owner has done his best to hire people from the community, and keep his store in great condition, so that it's a good example set against the "eyesores" that some people have allowed their properties to become... Big Spandex Babe, Number One (Henceforth designated as BSB#1) was working at the "Bag Check" counter, customers must give their bags to her before entering the store to shop, this is to discourage shoplifting (You know things are tough when some people actually consider stealing from a dollar store!) and most of the customers appreciate and co-operate with this procedure... Big Spandex Babe, Number Two (BSB#2) was a customer who was shopping merrily (Drunk) for all kinds of snacks, her shopping cart was so packed with candy, cookies and chips of every kind, that it resembled a kid's party on wheels! After I had paid for my purchases, I had to join another queue to retrieve my other shopping bag from BSB#1. Standing about three people away from BSB#2, I heard the following exchange: BSB#2 to BSB#1- "You gave me the wrong bag, B*itch!" BSB#1 to BSB#2- "Whatever!","You don't have to get a attitude, B*itch!" BSB#2 (pulling off earrings), "So what's up?" Now at this point, dear reader, I would like for you to imagine that you are seeing two huge and colorful Hot Air Balloons (very much like these "ladies"), colliding together in mid air... BSB#1 amazingly seemed to "fly" over the counter and grab BSB#2 by the hair! These two Giant Babes, started rolling and slapping and grappling, like a couple of Jurassic Park Stand-Ins, and NOBODY was going to stop 'em! I must give all due props to the people who created Spandex, it's tensile strength is nothing short of fantastic! With all the pulling, and tearing going on, BSB#1 only managed to expose one of BSB#2's boobs, but the Spandex held together... BSB#2 must have gotten a little hungry from all this activity, so she started chewing on BSB#1's shoulder... (reminder to me: put pork shoulder in oven when I get home) Finally after these two "Sumo-Ladies" tired a bit, the owner and a store employee managed to separate the two... but not shut them up: BSB#2 to BSB#1- "You ain't all that, you fat B*itch!" (?) BSB#2 to BSB#1- "Anytime, Anywhere, you Ho!" After I finally retrieved my bag and left, I went home (put pork shoulder in oven), sat down and started laughing so hard, I thought my next stop would be at the nearest "Funny Farm"! LOL! :) | | | | | |

| | Sometimes don't you wish others could see themselves as we do? Well, maybe not, as then you would not have all this humor in your life. I would probably have run for my life to keep from getting hit by the spandex clad boulders that were occupying the floor. I sure do not want to get on the wrong side of either of these ladies, as it sounds like they have quick tempers, and the weight to go behind them. How was your pork shoulder? How do you prepare it? And how soon did you venture back to your dollar store? I have never seen one with a frozen goods section, but the things I do see and buy there are great bargains. | | | | | | |

| | My pork shoulder gets rave reviews! :) I separate the skin from the meat with a sharp knife, slide aromatics and orange zest under the skin... then I put baste it with honey and wine throughout the cooking process... pretty simple. You must keep it moist, because if you don't, it'll turn into a leather covered anvil! :) Nothing will keep me from going shopping for a good bargain! :) I was back in there the next day... frozen whole apple pies and half chickens, were a buck each, I'd fight my way through 300 Lady Sumos to get a bargain! LOL! :) | | | |

| | Thanks for the compliment but my idea of wearing spandex is as a girdle under my clothes. My behind needs more covering than exaggerating... LOL! I've got a couple of our songs up on the band's MySpace page if you'd like to take a look and listen. We're starting to do some more live recording so hopefully I'll have some new songs to put up soon. http://myspace.com/userfriendlybandrocks | | | |

| | I see it so often that I can control it for a bit. I tend to stare in amazement though, like watching wildlife. As soon as the person leaves, I tend to lose it. Sometimes I have to write it down so I won't forget to tell someone else about it later. I used to work at a gas station that had cheap tobacco and beer. You can imagine the customers that came in. | | | |

| | Your deportment and self-control are World Class! :) Just yesterday, after I had just posted this discussion, I went down the block to the neighborhood vegetable and fruit stand and ran straight into a BSB, I kid you not! :) It took everything I had to keep from howling out loud! Funny thing is that most of the veggies and fruits cost about $1.00 per plastic bag, and she spent $35.00! That was either going to turn into one heck of a pot of soup, or the BLT from Hell! LOL!:) | | | |

| | That sounds like it would have been hilarious. It makes me wonder if maybe there was something else going on between these two though. It seems like drastic action to be taken for someone just handing someone else the wrong bag. | | | | | | |

| | Dear Friend, In this town, it doesn't take much of anything to spark a smackdown... all you have to do is look at someone "the wrong way", whatever that means... | | | |

| | I guess there are some like that here too, but luckily not most. There may be unkind words spoken, but before anything physical happens, usually there has to be something a bit more drastic happening than that. | | | |

| | Oh that was GOOD! Although I abhor violence, you have to be crazy not to see the funny side to this. You told it very well too. I'm having a good chuckle (note to self: take the pork out of the freezer for dinner tomorrow night) Our $1 stores have become $2 and higher stores but I still go every time I shop at the next biggest town. I can't imagine anything like that ever happening here. | | | | | | |

| | Dearest Sister, I am sooooo glad that you got a Laff out of this! :) My Peaceful Nature rejects violence, too, but I accept the fact that violence does exist, sometimes with devastatingly funny manifestations, to show people and governments that there is and must be, a better way! :) Our dollars stores are creeping up in price, too! That's why it's prudent too "Get stuff while the gettin's good! LOL! By the way... I sell "Dollar Store" merchandise, from clothing to food at wholesale prices, to anyone who wants it! This is a great way to help big families and/or anyone who needs to buy stuff in lots... Hugs and Squeezes, Sugarbee! :) | | | |

| | This is hysterical! But it never ceases to amaze me how uncivilized people can be. Wish I had a dollar store like yours in our neighborhood. I'd never find such goodies in our store. For great kitchen gadgets, and gourmet olives and such, I go to our local TJ Maxx or Ross. | | | | | | |

| | LOL, Thanks for posting this. Some people are crazy! It's hard to imagine two people fighting over someone getting a wrong bag. Wouldn't it have been easier and less humiliating just to ask for the right bag? I mean, why fight over something like that? It's childish really. But I guess that's the world we live in. Anyway, thanks for giving me a laugh. Nothing like that ever happens at our local Dollar Store, but if it ever does, you better believe I'll be posting about it. | | | | | | |
