ENGL 1000 Lecture Notes - Lecture 10: Prima Donna, Sunburn, Aisle
Document Summary
In walks these three girls in nothing but bathing suits. I"m in the third checkout slot, with my back to the door, so i don"t see them until they"re over by the bread. The one that caught my eye first was the one in the plaid green two-piece. I stood there with my hand on a box of hiho crackers trying to remember if i rang it up or not. I ring it up again and the customer starts giving me hell. She"s one of these cash-register- watchers, a witch about fifty with rouge on her cheekbones and no eyebrows, and i know it made her day to trip me up. She"d been watching cash registers for fifty years and probably never seen a mistake before. She kind of led them, the other two peeking around and making their shoulders round. She didn"t look around, not this queen, she just walked straight on slowly, on these long white prima-donna legs.
