That moment after getting your receipt
That moment after the cashier gives you your receipt lasts an eternity for awkward people. All that needs to go down is for you to put your receipt, credit card, and/or change back into the proper place in your pocketbook. But the problem is, the cashier has already said “have a nice day!" Now he is just standing there looking at you while you fumble with your shit, pennies flying everywhere, and you can’t seem to remember where anything goes, and your fingers have decided not to work. Half the time I end up carrying fistfuls of cash, wincing and holding my breath, until I get outside the door. Then I always get robbed.
