HANDICAPPED?

Thursday, April 26, 2007

She bags groceries at Fry’s Market. I see her once or twice a week. She is small in stature and physically handicapped. And because of a slight speech impediment, you might think she is mentally handicapped.

I worked in grocery stores when I was in Jr. High, Senior High and College. I have bagged lots of stuff! So when my checked groceries aren’t being bagged, I pitch in and help. When this young lady is bagging my groceries I don’t want to interfere with the good job she is doing, so I don’t help—but I always want to! She looks like she needs help.

Today, the cashier shouted out the amount of our bill. I shouted back, “We’ll take it.” The young “bagger” kept right on bagging, didn’t even look up and shouted, “DEAL.”

HANDICAPPED? I DON’T THINK SO. I’M THINKING PUT HER ON “DEAL OR NO DEAL” AND SHE WILL MAKE A MILLION!
