Me: “Ma’am, do you want this one or not?”ĮM: “Just give me both. My brother isn’t saying anything because he’s not good with confrontation and just wanted to get apple juice. She isn’t happy with this and starts demanding that I give her both again. I tell her again that I’ll give her one of them, we will take the other. I don’t know how or why she escalated this so fast, but she tells me to give her both of them because she wants them. She says yes, so I offer her one of them and we can take the other. She sees me take them, but I turn around and ask if she was also coming to get apple juice. We see that there are two gallons of apple juice left. We reach the grocery part of the store and start shopping when we finally go down the to the drinks. While she waited in line for the prescription, my brother and I went to look for the few groceries we need. She hates Walmart so we always try to hurry.
