Dear Editor:
I am a senior and I was in a checkout queue at Walmart last week.
When it finally came my turn, a man with his young boy pushed in and asked the clerk for a price check.
He then said “I’ll take it” and to my dismay the clerk ran it through while he fished for his money. I thought of saying, “The end of the line is that way,” but the man looked aggressive and was certainly bigger than me, so I said nothing.
When I thought about it later, I felt angry and then sad that an adult would teach his young boy to act this way.
All I can say is “Whoever you are out there reading this, I hope you think about what you did.”
If you had said to me, “I only have one item and I am late for my boy’s hockey practice,” I would have waved you through.
In future, please think about others and not just yourself.
