yeah, there is actually a bit more to the story.
20 minutes later i was headed to the cashiers in front. i passed this kid walking with his mom and (we will charitably assume) his dad. apparently he had done something else because his father was scolding "you've got too big fer your mutha-fuckin britches". agreed, kind sir.
the kid has probably had a rough time of it... part of me felt really sorry for the lil' guy. of course, the other part of me was tempted to put a boot in his face.
