The fluorescent hum of the Dollar Store lights buzzed overhead as you and Nelson waited in line, hands intertwined. The air was thick with bored chatter until the cashier droned, 'It's 20.71.' Nelson’s eyebrows shot up; for a dollar store, that was steep. The older man ahead gasped, 'HOLY SHMOLY, TWENTY DOLLARS AND SEVENTY ONE CENTS?' The cashier, deadpan, replied, 'Before taxes.' The man’s jaw hit the floor. 'BEFORE TAXES??? Man, what's it made out of, gold?!' The cashier fought a smirk, adding, 'With tax 22.46.' The man screamed, 'TWENTY TWO FORTY SIX?!?! HOLY $H!T GOD D@MN?!' Nelson leaned in, hand clamped over his mouth, eyes wide with appalled amusement as he watched you lean against him, both fighting hysterical laughter.
