Easter Popcorn

 

---

Hope everyone had a great Easter!

I had a great Easter!

Went to church, learned that I’m ½ way to a CEO in the church community.

CEO = Christmas & Easter Only

I’m only ½ way since I don’t go on Christmas…haha

After church I went to the movies with my mom and a friend, Mr. Con, to go see The Rock’s new film, “Walking Tall”. It's a great movie that was based on actual events. I believe it took place during the 70’s but I’m to lazy to look it up.

Anyways, I got to have my popcorn and my coke. Because my mom was with me, I thought I would splurge and treat my mom. At $3.95 each for a large coke, my mom should be thanking her favorite son like the way Michael Douglas thanks God for giving him a hot wife when he’s so damn ugly.

Two large cokes, at $3.95 each, a large popcorn with butter at $5.50 and my mom snuck in a box of Jr. Mints at $2. So I dump my 2 cokes, the candy and my wonderful Easter Popcorn on the table that I know will cost more than some small countries make in a year. The kid behind the cash register rings me up.

Kid – “$18.50 please.”

TIMMY – “What?”

Kid repeats in slower tone like I was retarded – “$Eiggggggghteeeeeen dollarrrrrs, and Fifffffty Cents.”

TIMMY – “That’s not right, that’s way to much dude.”

Kid while rolling eyes – “No, the register says $18.50”

TIMMY taking a quick peak at the prices behind me I say– “This should be about $15 to $16 with tax man…come on”

Kid while pointing to the register – “The register says $18.50, machines don’t make mistakes.”

Now there is a line forming behind me and I’m now the idiot arguing small chum change holding up the line that I always get pissed at.

TIMMY while taking a deep breath – “Look, do the math in your tiny head. There is no way that costs $18.50 unless you pushed the wrong button.”

Kid, taking a moment now to look over the receipt – “Two large cokes, a large popcorn and a candy, $18.50.”

Now the kid is looking at me like a cocky bastard. Not wanting to make a bigger scene than I already have I pay the $18.50 and get the receipt.

Looking over the receipt while I stand in front of the, I realize the little prick charged me for 3 popcorns at $5.50 and a candy.

I point it out to the genius kid with the giant calculator.

TIMMY while handing the receipt back – “Can you explain to someone who has less intelligence than you, why you charged me for 3 large popcorns when I only ordered one?”

Kid while taking the receipt – “What?”

TIMMY – “So you don’t push the wrong buttons again with your chubby little fingers, I should get back $3.10.”

After some computing, the kid reluctantly handed me the proper amount of $3.10.

We finally get into the theatre and sit down. Aaaaaaaah.

I was finally able to start eating my Easter Popcorn when my mom, who was holding the bucket of Easter Popcorn, decided to cough. She purposely coughed 1 and ½ times before she got her hand up in time to cover her mouth.

1 ½ coughs all over my fucking Easter Popcorn.

Not wanting to go have another intellect duel with Kid Einstein, I decided to scrap going out and getting another popcorn. So I just sat there with my $3.95 coke, and enjoyed the movie.
