Me and the Cashier from Smiths

I still cannot believe this conversation occurred. To give to the background I broke my rule of NOT taking Shane to the grocery store yesterday. We used to shop together all the time in CA. We would take a list and get it done and Shane hated it and couldn't wait to get out of the store. Now that the girls are older and I don't need his help so much I go alone. So I think for him the grocery store is an toy chest of all the stuff he wants.lol Yesterday our plan was to follow our list,(made on his IPHONE) and get a pizza and the usual home staples and then rent movies and come home. Was that the case? NO! I am at the check out with junk, junk, junk, and stuff that was not on sale to boot. Shane,at my request, takes the girls to the car and I head up to the cashier in shock at all we were buying. This is the gist of my conversation with Mr. Cashier;

"Did you find everything ok" said he
"Yeah!"
"How are you today" said he
"Well mad I brought my husband to the store"
"Why" said he
"He wanted all this junk"
"You should let him eat what he wants" said he
"Well when it's free then he can"
"Is he the main bread winner" said he
"Yeah I guess but I take care of or kids so it's OUR money!"
"Well AS LONG AS HE TAKES CARE OF YOU you should let him do what he wants!" said he

At that point was was kinda in a laughing shock. Had I heard this story I would have pictured Mr. Cashier to be joking but he actually looked pretty pissed. Therefore I have concluded he has a spouse who controls the purse as well has his privates. I think I struck a nerve as did he. Well I guess I better go and get Shane his coffee and make it the way he wants otherwise he "might not take care of me"
