I entered the department store. Making my way through the isles.
I was looking for cleaning products. My house was an absolute train wreck. Windows were smudged and had damaged blinds, dirty dishes were starting to pile up. I felt like today was the day to get started on cleaning things up. Especially with no one in my life to help me keep clean.
In the aisle, while picking out a good dish soap, something caught my eye. A package for a red gem. It shined onto the plastic casing. I grabbed it off the shelf, looking at the back. Everything seemed in order, but all it really said is that it "Makes cleaning a breeze!". I was willing to try this new thing, even if I wasn't exactly sure what it was or what it did.
I walked up to the counter, as the cashier perked up at my footsteps.
"Hello sir, may I help you?" She asks, adjusting her nametag. While not anything special, she was pretty cute, with a nice rounded face. About my height as well, 5'2.
"I was just checking out." I say as I lay the cleaning products out on the counter.
"May I see an ID?" She requests, looking like she had seen a ghost.
"Sure." I lay my ID down. God my picture is embarrassing. It really makes me look like a 20 year old white boy with no life. I only have a year left before I can change it though. "What do you need my ID for?"
"That." She points at the gem. "My boss said to ask for it when checking people out with that product." She finishes the transaction off after that short conversation, and I head to home with my products and weird gems.
