Maynard G. Krebs was in Walgreen's this evening (Saturday). In fact he and I were pretty much the only ones there.As I went to the front to check out, I could see him standing at the check-out counter. Oddly, he didn't seem to be buying anything. Oddy, he mostly seemed to be flirting with the check-out girl. It was actually more than flirting, it was clear that they were boy friend and girl friend.
Did I mention the scruffy beard?
As I got closer, he did not move.
Did I mention the scruffy hair?
Only as I put my items on the counter did he move slightly to the left.
Did I mention the scruffy attitude?
He finally had to move a little more to let me get to the debit machine.
He didn't move far enough as far I was concerned. There is such a thing as personal space when you're entering your PIN number.
Maynard was actually Ivy League compared to this guy!
I look pretty scruffy myself most of the time.
Fortunately, however, someone taught me some manners.

Sometimes I think that manners have become a vanishing concept.
---------------------------------
the best questions is 'Where was the store manager?"
manners and people who have no respect for personal bubbles

I have never trusted guys who make public displays of affection, who have to make sure everyone knows that they have a girl, lovie-dovie has it place but not over the checkout counter at Walgreen's
You're very polite. I would've said something, although he probably had really strong B.O. and smelled of old hemp and armpit.
So I would've told him off from a distance.

I was going to send a complaint to Walgreen's via the website, but I did that just last week about the same store ("What's the point of 'Express Pay' if I have to sign a cc receipt?")
I figured he has at least a knife.
