went to sam's becuase we are out of dog food and regular food. So I went and bought a 55 lb bag of dog food, and a 10 lb bag of chicken breats for myself. If anyone has been to sam's, u know that u need a card for everything, to get in, to check out, and everything in between. While leaving the store, there is always John. First of john is not young. Not by any stretch of the imagination. Right now his tank is running bout half of a quarter of a tank. He has to breath with a oxygen tank hooked up to a clear hose threw his nose. While leaving the store, john checks people's receipts. whenever it is someone that is older, (most people by the way that shop there are older, becuase 1) they own some kind of business and buy shit in bulk, and 2) they have a shit load of kids and buy a bunch of food. well, john lets these people go reletivley easy without giving them a second thought. But when I go up to him to show him my receipt, all of a sudden john is on accute alertness, and scans my cart like terminator did in part 2 when he went into the bar looking for clotes, boots, and a motorcycle. John looks at my reciept, scans the cart, checks the receipt, scans the cart, does it a few more times, making sure to check every fucking single item, and to mnake sure im not stealing something. yet, the people that were in front of me had 3 fucking carts full of shit. If someone were to really want to steal something, all they have to do is stuff there cart and becuse of the high volume of things, he really cant check every single item becuase if her were to, then the line would be backed up to the registers. which they almost are already. after john does his full cart scan, he then sscribbles some shit on my recipt which i dont think means a damn thing, but for him, it makes him feel as though he is doing something worthwhile. by the way, after that whole rigamaroe, i had only 3 things in my cart, and they were fairly decent sized items, 55lb bag of dog food, 2 lbs of turkey, and 10 lb bag of chicken breasts. He doesnt just do this once to me, its every single time i come there, and i usually buy the same thing everytime. so next time you go to sam's say hi to john as u walk out, and give him his well deserved thank you for being such a productive citizen.
