The Store

This Story evolved from a Role Play with a friend, it is also my first story.

Constructive criticism welcome

“Damn it” I shouted as I slammed my fist down on the bench, “not only did I get overcharged, but half this stuff is past its expiration date!”

I load everything back into my car and drive back to the store; I load everything into a trolley and storm up to the front desk. A bored looking 18 year old kid is there and asks “how can I help you sir?”

“I want to see the store manager, and I want to see them right now” I state in a loud but calm voice,

” oh, we don’t need to get the manager sir I can help you with your issue” in a condescending tone.

“Fine”, I state in a slightly louder and more annoyed voice, “so you would be happy to explain to me why not only I have been overcharged for my groceries but why half of the items are passed their expiry date”

“I don’t know sir, maybe you didn’t add up the docket correctly and maybe you should check the items before leaving the store next time?”

“Excuse me? You are blaming me for this?? Right that is it; if the store manager isn’t here in two minutes then I will personally make sure everybody in this store is FIRED!!!” Putting emphases on the word fired.

“You can’t do that” the kid exclaims, “Watch me”



The 18 year old runs off in a mad dash to find the manager, while I stand there fuming.
