Another moment in the life of the ol' Raptor.
So...
...it's a quarter to 6 and the beer store closes at 6.
I've had 12 beerskis but now I figure I could use 2 more before the friggin beer store closes since they are closed tomorrow, so ...
On goes the coat and hat and I grab 3 toonies, $2 coins for you non Canadaian folks, and about $1.25 in quarters before I go, just in case I lose a few quarters along the way, right?
So, I get to the beer store, grab my 2 10% tall boys and go to cashout (that's equal to about 8 American 3% beer, just for reference
). They are just closing the doors now.
"That'll be $6.30 please."
Well, I pull out the change in my pocket and damn if I'm not missing a Toonie.
So now I start it up. I start with my whole story about how I knew I was late and grabbed 3 toonies out of my tray and some extra quarters and " I can't believe it. I knew I grabbed 3 toonies."
I start imagining I'm poo pooing 'Bubbles' from the 'Trailer Park Boys'. I mean poo poo, I'm starting to sound exactly like him.
So the girl locking up the doors sais "How much does he need?" And here I am rifling though all of my pockets,like Bubbles, half pissed, and I can't find that last toonie.
The checkout guys smiles and says "don't worry about it." I say thanks, grab the bag and start walking out.
I look at the girl closing the doors as I'm leaving and I say, "Yeah but she bought me a beer on my birthday too. How much do I owe you guys?"
They both smile, the checkout guy sais "don't worry about it. Have a happy new year."
I say " thanks, appreciate it", and all that stuff, and think, Yeah. This is Canada man. I love it here.
Happy New Year everyone.
