Coupon Lady

I went to Safeway up in G'Bay yesterday. It's a nice modern store in a high income area. I am not hating on people that use coupons. I used them back in the day but am just too lazy now. However, this lady was one of those people with the coupon organizers and EVERY single item had to be checked for a coupon as the cashier dragged it over the scanner. Are you f'ing kidding me? EVERY single item. As each item was scanned the cashier would look at the crazy customer who would then move to the correct letter of the alphabet. I only stood there for about 20 seconds before I realized I had to move but she had a coupon for just about everything. Reminds me of my old friend, Schmed, with the Flock of Segulls haircut in college. That dude rocked the coupons so hard he would get stuff for free quite often! You know, coupons, use them on triple coupon day, and buy stuff heavily on sale. Not sure if he needed the stuff or not but when it's free or near free why not, right!? Anyway, I dropped into the next line and ended up behind "heading to the lake guy." You know, 50ish, bathing suit, flip flops, shirt that was about 10 years old and 2 sizes too small to cover his beer belly, and he was buying beer! I know he was not from G'Bay... just rolling down Douglas to Folsom Lake... passing through and spending money up in my hood. Oh well, at least he just paid and got going. Damn coupon lady is probably still up there going through her little coupon organizer.
