Manager’s Rage
“Are you out of your mind? Do we look like charity over here?” he roared. “If you don’t have money, then get out of here. This is a store. You pay for what you get.” But Alice felt compassion for the old man; plus, she had enough of the manager’s nasty manners.
“No worries, sir. I’ll pay for them myself,” she said. She took $5 from her pocket, placed them in the cash register, and handed the sandwiches to the man with a smile. He thanked her and walked out the door. And immediately after, all hell broke loose.
