Manhandling My Card

Im really pretty tired folks. But I promised myself that I'd write something on this thing every day. Some manner of garbage. So as I fight to keep my eyelids from drooping......I'll tell you a small story

Was in the supermarket earlier. Buying milk. And a cake thing. Got to the checkout. I stick my card in the device. It makes a beeping noise. And then something happened which made me feel almost violated.....

The thick-fingered cashier put her grubby fingers on my card, shook it from side to side (so that it bent a bit) and then ripped it out. She treated it like it was some inanimate object. Which it was of course! It was only my debit card....but I felt really personal about it. She then slammed it back in the machine. If my little delicate card had cracked then I would have shed a tear. I know it was over-sensitive of me to care so deeply but still. A little bit of caution wouldn't go amiss.

So thats when I said to her.....

"Watch it sausage fingers, thats my card you've got there. Be a little more gentle with it will you. Its not indestructible you know, you know you cant just...."

And I whined on like this for a while more and she stared at me coldly, chewing her chewing gum.

And then I left.

And now im tired.
