Just to counterbalance the "I hate people" trend of my last few posts, I'll mention this.
I went to the drug store yesterday after work to pick up a prescription and to purchase a few items, among which was a bottle of Zantac®. As I grabbed the Zantac® and headed up the aisle toward the front of the store to pay, this slightly older African-American lady who was also in the same aisle said, "Oh, my goodness, that stuff is so expensive, isn't it?"
I said, "Yeah, it sure is," or something equally noncommittal and continued to walk away. I honestly never pay much attention to prices because . . . I want what I want. :)
She called out, "What size did you get? I may have something for you."
Intrigued and amused, I stopped. "Oh?" I walked back to where she was standing.
I showed her the package. It was the 80 tablet size (enough for more than three months). She reached into her purse and pulled out a coupon for $2 off on Zantac®, 24 tablet size and up. And handed it to me.
"I'm the coupon queen," she said, smiling. "I always clip 'em just in case, but I don't need this one today, and it expires soon."
I thanked her and smiled all the way to the front of the store, where my Zantac® was $2 less because of this total stranger.
Maybe all people don't suck.
