For some reason the most colorful customers always seek me out to be their cashier, so they can tell me the latest episodes in their lives. One such couple is a man from Mississippi and his new bride, who is from Minnesota. He is a farm hand who last bathed when Nixon was still president. For his birthday, she bought him a "new" 1995 Ford pickup for only $300 with the trade-in. It only has 260,000 miles on it, and the stereo works. "It even tells you who is singing!"
Not long after that, both being lovers of lake fishing, they sold their old boat for $400 and bought a "new" one that was much larger for only $500.
Even though she recently was fired from her job at Salvation Army for giving a customer the middle finger, these two are clearly living the good life. Whenever they see me in the store, the man excitedly yells out a loudly drawn out "Baahb!"
