Last night while out getting food for us, I had to stop and get gas at the Chevron near our place. I went inside and there at the counter was an apparently drunken West Plano "gentleman". I use that term lightly in this case given his current state HOWEVER he seemed to be the type that would normally be a fine upstanding citizen of the city making his large sums of money but had a bit too much fun last night. That being said, he wasn't causing a scene or anything, I could just tell he was drunk. I mean the guy was using the counter as a crutch to stand up straight. Ok so, this guy was barefoot, who walks into a convenience store BAREFOOT, I guess it didn't matter given what I saw. You see, this guy not only purchased a 6pk of Budweiser (just thinking about that beer makes me shudder) and 5 cans of Bandit snuff (or whatever it is), he also purchased scratch off lotto tickets. Ok no biggie, it's not an unusual thing to see a guy buying beer, nicotine and lotto tickets in Texas, it's not really even unusual that he was barefoot, I mean Texas has a reputation to uphold. THE BIG DEAL here was the total. This guy spent $500!!! I couldn't believe it, I looked at the register THREE TIMES...yep, $500 or my car payment, ya know nothing but 'a drop in the bucket' for a W Plano redneck. So he proceeded to stumble out the door and got into his $100K Mercedes...sped off, probably running a red light or something.
The moral of this story...if you ever see ME at a convenience store and my total is $500, you have my permission to slap the crap outta me! Hmmm, now I'm wondering if he won anything.

Just thinking of what I would purchase with a whopping $500! I might be barefoot, but on the beach.
