A formal apology

Dear Weis Markets,

Just a quick note to apologize for my apalling behavior in your Robinson St. store last Saturday. I can assure you and your cashier Aisha (?) that, had I known what an irritating imposition it would be to 1.) ask the cashier to not shove my groceries so hard they bounce off the back wall of the packing area, especially as the area is on an incline so stuff rolls down anyway, 2) get in line, wait 15 minutes to check out and then dare to further badger the poor employee for a Weis shopping-club card, having heard that the procedure is arduous and elaborate (give a Weis drone your drivers license, they write a few pieces of information down and they hand you your card and license back) that I was clearly try to goad her into a confrontation, and then 3) pay for $66 dollars worth of slammed groceries with a $100 bill, my only cash at the time. Thank goodness that the shopping-card duty was passed on to the packing kid, who delighted us all with his perfect Steppin Fechit impersonation; I
'm actually cool with packing my own groceries. Again, I am really, really sorry -- my only defense is that it was my first time in your store. Welcome to Binghamton, by the way. Anyway, I can only assure you that had I known I would have been such a compounding inconvenience to your employees, I would have happily driven the extra 20 miles to Wegmans.

Yours in Christ,
-- milos george
