So I am at Walmart scanning and bagging my almost $300
So I am at Walmart scanning and bagging my almost $300 worth of groceries while the employee that wants $15 an hour “monitors” and then this happened.
Her – why are you double bagging all of your groceries?
Me – excuse me?
Her – you are wasting our bags!
Me – if you don’t like the way I’m bagging the groceries, feel free to come on over here and bag them yourself.
Her – that’s not my job!
Me – okay, then I will bag my groceries how I please if that’s all right with you.
Her – why are you using two bags?!
Me – because the bags are weak and I don’t want the handles to break or the bottoms to rip out.
Her – well that’s because you are putting too much stuff in the bag. If you took half of that stuff out and put it in a different bag then you wouldn’t need to double bag.
*10 seconds of me just staring at her.
Me – so you want me to split these items in half and put half of them in a different bag so that I don’t have to double bag.
Her – exactly.
Me – so I would still be using two bags to hold the same number of items.
Her – no because you wouldn’t be double bagging.
*me pressing two fingers to my left eye in an attempt to make it stop twitching.
Me – okay so here I have a jug of milk and a bottle of juice double bagged. If I take the milk out and remove the double bagging and just put the milk in the single bag and the juice in that single bag I’m still using two bags for these two items.
Her- no because you are not double bagging them so it’s not the same number of bags.
*me looking around at about 10 other customers who at this point are enjoying the show.
Me- is this like that Common Core math stuff I keep hearing about?
Her- never mind you just don’t get it.
And with that, she went back to her little Podium so she could continue texting or playing games on her phone or whatever it was she was doing before she decided to come over and critique my bagging skills.
Tim Conway’s Hilarious Improv on “The Carol Burnett Show”
If you watch “The Carol Burnett Show,” you are aware that it consistently makes people laugh and smile. And with his deft improvisation in this particular clip, Tim Conway had his co-stars in stitches.
In a scene when they were playing the game “Password,” Mickey Hart, played by Conway, decided to tell a humorous story about an elephant that lived in a circus. Dick Van Dyke, Vicki Lawrence, and Carol Burnett were unable to contain their laughs.
Conway’s account took an unexpected turn when he talked about the elephant and its trainer having a romantic relationship. He even made a joke about how they were interred together after passing away. The other performers were unable to contain their emotions and were trembling and covering their faces as they attempted to gather themselves.
You can only image how contagious the laughter was, for both the cast and the studio audience. Moments like these serve as a reminder of the popularity of “The Carol Burnett Show.”
