Damn, what a cutting edge commentary. Consumerism as a religion. Made me a thinken. Almost like we live in Idiocracy innit. Mind if I vape here?

I saw Don DeLillo at a grocery store in New York yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn't want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you're doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “Beaner! Beaner! Beaner!” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him wheeze as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw DeLillo trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen baseballs in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don't even think that's a word. After she scanned each ball separately and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

You're in the Greek wilderness and this confused old man stumbles out of a cave shouting "BEANER?" at you. What do you do?
