Overheard anywhere in the U.S. except SoFla:
A young man is in a checkout line behind a woman with a small dog quietly sitting in her grocery cart. The woman is behind me. I am paying for my purchases.
“Wow, they let you bring a dog in here?” he asks.
“Yeah, as long as he’s in the cart,” she replies, smiling.
“He’s really cute. Can I pet him?”
“Sure, he’s friendly.”
Same scenario yesterday in a SoFla Dollar Store:
“Wow, they let you bring that dog in here?” he asks.
No reply.
“He’s really cute. Can I pet him?”
“Yeah, if you give me a cigarette.”
“What? I just want to pet your dog.”
“And I said only if you give me a cigarette! No one pets my dog for free.”
“Oh yeah? Well then f— you, bitch!”
I have absolutely nothing intelligent to say about this except I wish I was making it up.
Wow.
cee cee–I know. I can’t wait for the day I don’t call this area home.
Sounds about right.

Wonderful
Rick–Yep
Kim–Wonderfully awful!
Absolutely – it’s the kind of think you can’t overhear without thinking, “I have to tell someone about this” – and as you have a blog…
Precisely why I spent only 2 years there. I think the tipping point was when I was cussed out (in Spanish) at the host stand by a Latino “lady”. She didn’t like that her rich, entitled behind would have to wait 2 hours on a Friday night without a reservation. But she was even more pissed that I didn’t speak Spanish. The Nerve of me!
Um, you aren’t taking your guys shopping with you now, are you?
