Blog Wars Episode 3-No beer after midnight

So on Saturday my fiance and I went to KC to go to The Beast, an overpriced haunted house, to hang out with her cousin and her cousin's new fiance. Bear in mind she's only been dating him for about 4 months. Anyways we had fun at the haunted house and drove back home. We didn't want to go out to a bar but we still wanted to get something to drink. Thinking to myself it's past 11:00 and the liquor stores are closed, let's go to the store and get some 3.2 beer. YES! So we arrive at Price Chopper at 11:45 or so. We get the beer and are headed to the one checkout lane a mile long open this late at night. In front of us was about a 300 pound person, not sure if it was a man or a woman, who was buying a wide assortment of items ranging from box salads to 4 boxes of donut holes. At this point she looks up at us and says, "Oh you're two minutes too late," and continues putting her items up on the counter. Bear in mind she hasn't even begun checking out and we could've gone ahead of her. After hearing this we thought she meant if we were two minutes earlier we could've checked out sooner. OH NO! After waiting 20 minutes for this woman to hurry up, and the cashier seeing we had beer to buy, this woman pays for all her food on a vision card, that's welfare for all you rich folk, and puts a few items back.
Then, after seeing we had beer THE WHOLE TIME, the cashier tells us, "Oh you can't buy beer after midnight. I thought that lady (referring to the lady in front of us) told you that." No she didn't you stupid ******! At which point we throw the beer on the counter, shove our way past and leave the store.
As you can tell this bugged me to say the least. Not only could we have gone ahead of the woman in front, the cahier could have saved us 20 minutes by telling us we couldn't buy pisswater beer after midnight, but, no offense, people on welfare should go last. Especially when they buy 4 boxes of doughnut holes. And why can't you buy beer after midnight at a grocery store? You can buy beer in a bar after midnight. You can't even get drunk on 3.2 beer. That's like having a 24 McDonald's drive thru open and not selling burgers after midnight.

This doesn't surprise me. I once went in Price Chopper on a Sat. afternoon. Only 2 of the 11 checkout lanes were open. I also got stuck behind a lady with a cart full of food who was paying with a vision card. I guess she ended up with more food than she was allowed, because they were taking out and scanning things one by one to try and get the price back down. This is especially fun if after you've sat there through all this, they pull out extra cash to buy cigarettes. How come they they can use cash to buy that, but not to cover their kid's food they had to put back? Guess that's another blog, another time....

see, that's why kansas sucks. when my best friend graduated from high school we were freaking idiots and didn't realize that she was graduating on a sunday(this was back when you couldn't buy liquor on sundays). so after the graduation we searched around and finally found a bottle of tequila...so we decided to go to walmart and get a bottle of margarita mix so we could atleast have something to drink. so we go to check out and the lady asks us for an id. we were like why???it's not alcohol. she then proceeded to tell us that it was a beverage that was used with alcohol so therefore we had to be 21 to buy it. so we left walmart and went to dillons, where the guy sold it to us, no questions asked. ok, so that was a really long story but it just proves that kansas sucks

"people on welfare should go last. "
This sentence is loaded on about 47 different levels. And hilarious.
