Excu$e me!!! Time i$ money!

Today's post is sponsored by the Pennsylvania Lottery, facilitating compulsive gambling to benefit older Pennsylvanians everyday!
I went to a local convenient store today to make a soda delivery. When I brought my load into the store, there was a gentleman perched like a vulture at the counter near the lotto register. The store was being manned by one lady, who was all by herself. As she went to assist the man, the phone rang. She said, "Excuse me one moment," and answered the phone. The man impatiently glared at her. I dropped off my drinks in the back room and went back to the counter to receive payment, making sure I stepped back so that customers could be assisted first. No sooner had the clerk hung up the phone, when a young dude ran in and said, "I need a pack of (smokes,)" tossing the money on the counter. The clerk shot an apologetic look at Mr. Lotto Fever, not wanting to leave money--understandably-- lying on the counter. Then, as she tried to tell me, "I'll be with you in just a minute," the guy flipped out and snapped, "Look, I'm in a really big hurry, so could you please get my numbers for me!"
Miss Store clerk said, "Sir, I'm sorry about the wait. I'm here by myself." Unfortunately, sympathy was not to be had. "Whatever," the man ranted. "Now, are you gonna help me, or am I going to take my business elsewhere??"
In an attempt to keep her calm, I told the clerk, "It's OK. Go ahead; I'm in no rush." After all, Pushy was, right? Then this guy goes on to buy ticket after ticket after ticket. 10 minutes later, the transaction was complete. This guy must have spent at least $50 in lottery tickets! No "Thank You," no "Please," no nothing, except the greedy man snapping up his tickets and waddling out the door. (He wasn't heavy-set; he just waddled when he walked.)
I never thought belligerence could be any worse. Ah, but couple it with unbridled greed, and you have a new 3-headed monster!

All I can say is, thank God this dude ran out of money! Any more, and he'd own the lottery!
