Lucky for me, there was one on my way home. The one on LVB actually. So I pulled in and was getting my stuff together when I saw a girl walk in wearing something that resembled a slutty blue 1950's style bathing suit. It wouldn't have been out of place in a club, but inside a 7-11 on a Saturday night, she looked like a freak. This was the closest thing I could find on the internet to match it;
Only the pants were much shorter, the top more low cut. I can't make these things up.
By the time I got inside she was at the front and the guy behind the counter was jokingly saying "It's because you are a blonde!" He was saying this as a joke, you could tell by the way he was talking he was just trying to make conversation. She was not having any of it.
I looked at the Slurpee selection and decided that because cherry wasn't there, I wasn't interested anymore. So I grabbed some coffee and headed to the front. The cashier was telling a friend of his to the side of the counter what had happened with the slutty blonde. I heard him say to his friend, "she had no sense of humor." I said to him "I don't think she had on enough clothes to afford a sense of humor."
We all laughed at that, and he explain that she was pitching a fit because she didn't want him touching the cheese she was buying. The cheese that was already in a plastic wrap. "She's getting all worked up about cheese she is buying from a 7-11? What a class act, huh?"
I forgot how much my change was, and he reminded me. I pointed to my hair and said "sorry, blonde!" He replied with "Oh no, you are a redhead, you have a temper. I've got to stay on your good side!"
My hair is a strawberry blonde, and I am a big grump in the morning, so I just said to him "Well...you are almost right!" We were all laughing as I headed out the door.
I feel like every time I visit a gas station for a snack I get funny stories like this. Thanks 7-11!
