A (Black) Woman at Check-out (II of II): Scene.

Also like a month ago, someone I know was at a local grocery chain store and this really big 40-something (black) woman in a dingy coat and looking kind of crazy was making this huge scene at the checkout counter, picking a fight and yelling at the cashier over nothing, and just as she was stomping away and leaving all her groceries at the check-out while everyone was watching - it was that big a scene - she turned around and raised her finger and was like, "And woman, I will get you fired!", and as she did this, a ham fell out of her coat.

And then, without missing a beat, she pivoted and shook her finger at everyone who was watching and was like, "Who threw that ham at me!?!??!?!"

Have you seen the clip of the woman trying to steal a case of beer from a store. She shoves it between her legs squeezes and drops her dress over it.

No! Is this on YouTube? Have you ever seen the part from John Waters's one movie with Divine where she careens through a grocery store stuffing steaks up her dress to Little Richards's (?) "Girl Can't Help It"? It's a fantastic scene (and good use of music!).

I can't believe you didn't blog about this before.

The story happened like a month ago... I heard it just a few days before I posted it, though (not that much lag time).
