Scene: The grocery store checkout. J has convinced A to wait until the customer ahead of them has finished his transaction to begin scanning purchases. A is now working with the trained, professional cashier to ring up the bill.
Cashier: "OK, buddy; you're doing great. Do one more and then I'll do the rest."
A (laser scanning the mozzarella) : "Why? I'll do two." (Grabs box of Woven Wheat Wafers.)
J (noticing the growing backlog of customers behind the shopping cart): "A, we need to let the trained professional help us so the line doesn't build up."
A (scanning the pizza): "Why?"
J: If we take too long, they'll talk about us behind our backs. They'll say, 'Did you see that little kid and that dad didn't do anything..."
A: "Yeah. He just stood there looking stupid."
(Customers laugh)
