A Conversation Between A Cashier & A Customer

by David Clure

I held up my Price Chopper card and he aimed his handheld scanner at it, and "Beep!"

"How are you doing today?" He asked me with a smile.

"Good." I replied as I pocketed my card and smiled back.

He asked if I had found everything O.K., and I nodded.

The conversation turned toward these days, and although neither of us mentioned the Pandemic, we both understood the unspoken generalities we now traded.

Out of the blue, he mentioned the recent incident that had happened to a man in Minneapolis, and added, "I believe in protesting something like that, don't you?"

"He was treated wrong", I agreed.

Then as if expecting more, he commented, " I mean, I wouldn't be destructive or anything like that....but, I could get into some of that rough and tumble," or words to that effect. "Do you want your S.O.S. pads in a seperate bag, or..."

"You can just leave them out, I'll just put them in my cart, thanks." before adding, "I know someone who made a huge difference but never marched, or hurt anyone or any of that."

"You mean, Martin Luther King, right?"

"No."

He paused and shot me a quizzical look. "Who?"

"Jesus Christ."

He was ready to grab my grocery receipt from the register but hesitated.

Now, I was the only customer in line, and he looked very curious to know more, so I continued. "He changed the course of human history, I mean our Calendar was even affected by his life, right? And all He did was love people who did wrong."

The cashier paused as he got ready to hand me my receipt, seeming to mull over what I was saying in his mind. "You know, I've read through the whole Bible from beginning to end, but there's one book in it that stumps me...Revelation."

"Well", I responded, "Basically God is letting us know that everything will turn out all right in the end."

He got ready to hand me my receipt.

"That is, It will turn out all right for those who ask Him to forgive their sins, and follow Him." After I told him that, it was almost as if time stood still for a moment. Then it started to move forward once again.

"Thanks." he replied thoughtfully handing me the receipt.
