So on Friday night, me and my friend Tiffany went to Vons because I stupidly forgot my cigarettes at work. We walked in and almost immediately turned around and left because the prices were like woah. Then as soon as we're leaving, this guy comes out of the back and says, "Wait, you're not leaving now, are you? I just came out of the break room to help you!" I looked at Tiffany and I'm starting to feel bad, but I just told him sorry and thanks anyway. He didn't beg, but he was very insistent in telling us that he had to help us with something. I was totally joking, but I said, "Well, you could knock off like a dollar from your cigarette prices..." and he asked which ones. I told him the brand I like, and he looks at the shelf, looks at me, and then says, "alright, for you, sure, I'll take a dollar off." WTF? This guy had to be trying to get fired or something, because his nametag defintely didn't say anything referring to a mangager position. "Are you serious?" I asked, totally in disbelief. He came back with a pack and gave me a dollar, then I gave him my $5, and he gave me change from the pack. I offered to give him some of the Thin Mints I'd just purchased, but he said no and thanked me anyway. Tiffany and I just kinda stared at one another open-mouthed as we exited the store.

When does that ever happen?!

Oh and uh...spare me the fact that cigarettes are bad/lethal/gross, etc. - I already know I'm disgusting.
