I just had the weirdest interraction at the bookshop bros
>Get a text that they're having an 80% off sale
>It's probably shit, but I guess I'll check it out since it's on the way home
>Get there. Ask about the sale. It's shit.
>Just a large unsorted pile of vegan cooking books, books with the word fuck asterisked out in impact font, cancer guides and harry potter
>Decide to look through it anyway
>After 20mins I find not one but two copies of a $50 musical reduced to $5
>Decide to buy both and guve my gf one
>As i'm paying the clerk says "oh nice, that's a bargain"
>I say something like "Yeah, it's great, have a nice day"
>Suddenly a weathered shingleback finger taps on the cover of the two books i've purchased
>"WHERAWOOO GETDOOOZE?!"
>It's this old shaking fella who obviously has some neurological/speech impediment
>"I'm sorry what?"
>The clerk cuts off his clarification with "He's asking where you got those"
>"The pile"
>"WILRCH PAAAHL?"
>The clerk translates again "Which pile?"
>I start getting flustered
>"The pile...the..the...fucking SALE PILE. The pile!"
>He seems to take these words in for a second nodding
>Suddenly says "TWOOOR COORPEE HERR REEDY!"
>"He's saying two copies is greedy"
>"Alright. I really don't know what to do here. I'm just going to leave"
>As I turn to leave he makes a lunge for the books
>"GIIRVE MMRE DAAT!!!"
>"Dude, no, I will punch you. I will PUNCH you"
>Suddenly everyone is looking at me and the clerk looks at me with an expression nothing short of disgust
>"You'll PUNCH him?"
>Realise that I'm never coming back here again
>"Yes. I will punch him. Have a good day"
>Leave as people start coddling the retard and shooting me glares.
>Saved a lot of money
