So I’ve got this gorgeous old lady on the line. She’s doing all of her Christmas shopping at one go, apparently getting ready to feed an entire mafia of fat Italians. She’s a saint, this woman. She reminds me of my grandma, well dressed but unpretentious, frail but sweetly stubborn.
I get her talking about her childhood in the Roman countryside, and in my distraction make mistake after mistake on the till. I awkwardly void out a bunch of vegetables, only to find that I hit the tender button too soon. Helpless, I run to fetch my supervisor, who straightens me out in a kindly patronizing manner. Then I make the same mistake again, and can’t remember how he fixed it. The wonderful lady laughs all the way through it, causing me to make further errors. But eventually I tot it all up and get her to turn over the right amount of cash. With “Happy Christmasesâ€

Not an essay, not a story, not anything really except one of those random bits that seem to come up in IF and nowhere else. Cheers, hope you like it Luke.

Its one of those strange pieces that do only come up on IF and nowhere else :P
I tried something like a meaningful ending to mine- in a similar vein to yours- but it really didn't work out :P
