Mall Escapade

To blow off some steam yesterday, I went to the mall. It was hot and humid outside, and after spending six hours at work on a Saturday I really needed to get away from anything remotely resembling a computer or chair.

I walked into a random clothing store manned by two guys, probably around my age. I was the only customer and they were really friendly, striking up a conversation in a non overt sales-in-your-face kind of way. It was the last day of work for one of them and he joked that he always wanted to cause a scene before he left. I joked back that I would totally play along if he wanted.

So we chatted until some other customers came in. I winked, went into the changing room, then came out in a fury, cursing and saying how the clothing sucked and the sales clerk had better bring me three sizes of all the dresses in the store and how could he be so rude and everything in the store was ugly and disgusting and I deserved better.

Without missing a beat, he yells at me, "Yeah, well, fuck you and fuck this, I fucking quit!" and storms out.

Oh, the looks! Wide eyes and dropped jaws. I'm sure it cost the store some sales, as the customers glanced around nervously and left. But a few moments later he came back and we all had a good laugh.

Probably the most fun I've had at the mall for a long time. Those guys were awesome.
