Is this America?
6/27/2004 11:34:59 PM


An experience I had while shopping. I have truly reached the depths of a redneck.

As I was grocery shopping a few days ago, I noticed one of those "dollar stores" opened up nextdoor.

I love to go through those junky stores. It's a big thing here in N Cal. right now. It's fun!

Anyway, I had a little basket and was browsing around, when an elderly lady struck-up a conversation with me.
She asked me if I had been to any of the other ".dollar stores". I answered, "oh yes, I've been to several".
We then asked each other, have you been to this one, or that one, etc. As we finished our conversation, the owner comes running down the isle, looking very upset, AT ME!

He said, I don't appreciate you solicit other stores, in my store. I tried to be nice and told him we were just making conversation, but he was so upset with me, he kept rambling on and on about taking his business away.So I had to give him the BIG GUNS.

"This is America Sir, and in America we have something called "freedom of speech". I have the right to speak to anyone I choose, about anything I choose, anywhere I choose". So I got kicked out of the "Dollar Store"!

That is so low.....

I'm one of those people, who has weird things happen to them, a lot! Things that wouldn't happen to another person during their entire life.
Mostly earthly stuff and quite a few not so earthly experiences. Maybe I'll start writing about them in "My Blog", as they happen. Meanwhile, I can write about previous experiences. Strange, funny, weird and spiritual.

Until next time,
Bonnie
