Man: Yo, gimme yo wallet!

Very Large Woman: What?! You gonna try and mug ME?? (pulls gun out of waistband and points it in the air, movie-style) THIS IS MOTHERF-CKING LONG BEACH!

Man: Oh, sh-t! (books it)

Man: Do you have a plastic bag I can have?

Me: Uh…no.

Man: You’re telling me you don’t have a single plastic bag?

Me: Yeah bro.

Man: You don’t have any from grocery shopping or anything? C’mon, all I need is a plastic bag. It won’t take that much time out of your precious day.

Me: (getting fed up with his sassy ass) Well, what do you need a plastic bag for?

Man: My groceries, man! (points to old lady-style shopping cart filled with empty plastic bottles.)

Me: (stares at him)

Man: (stares at me, obviously not about to give up)

Me: (heaving a giant sigh) Ugh, okay fine, dude. Wait here.

I go inside, fetch the stupid plastic bag, and give it to the man. He thanks me, and I watch him walk across the street, pull out his “groceries” which happen to be a single tall can of malt liquor, slip the can into the bag, and start drinking. When he’s finished, I watch him throw his empty can into the bushes and walk away.
