Today at my register, a large black family, Mom, Dad, three kids and Grandma, came through with several gift cards to buy some clothes. As I was ringing things and removing EAS tags, they chatted and joked in their native language, which I could not identify. As I neared the end, Dad asked, "How much now?" I stopped ringing for a moment to display the total, which was in excess of $150.00. Dad turned to Mom and said something. I couldn't understand the words but the tone rang loud and clear: "How the hell did you spend so much?!" Then, in polite English to me, "Something must go back."
It was pretty funny.
