All'annuncio tanto agognato una transumanza scomposta di varia umanità e cestini procede a velocità da controllo con etilometro attraverso le corsie .....L'a gitazione di chi deve entrare nel guinness dei primati per la spesa più veloce è un virus contagiosissimo tra gli afficionados dell'apertura, il passo malfermo e disarticolato, età media sui 60, l'occhio dilatato e shortness of breath: these are the characteristics that differentiate a normal from a customer of belonging to what I call the "club of the 50 "....... from my position I see them trudging into a treasure hunt increasingly frantic race with life and the passage of time .... When you finally have literally thrown in the trash cart or the one or two essential items, see them run from the bottom of the lane, waving a hand in the fifty as they were a handkerchief, to greet those who go on a long journey, the baton in a relay race that is and ends at the finish line .... only thing missing is the soundtrack to "Chariots of Fire" and a liberating applause ......
Nothing will change that, nor the small amount of spending nor the cashier looked doubtful .... the delivery of 50 must be completed at all costs, with surgical precision and Satisfaction of all ... Risking the request for change I know what I face, the types that occur to me are three: the peremptory eye open a mocking smile, almost defiant, jingling the purse, said, "not I change ... otherwise I would have data, "the undecided , expression from cow watching trains go by, staring at you with the fog behind the eyes and whispers "I see aspects" and you know what will go a good half hour before the phenomenon see or not see, searching in every corner of the pants or bag , the purses and then manage to collect the right amount or you say "no, I did not," the original appears already to the question "has the membership card?" putting in hand with a grin paper credit card of the gas station, or worse health than the membership card of a business competitor and 50 course, and everything together all at once ... olè !!!..... Become purple stammering sentences disconnected if you let them out of the evil, for a similar item not the demand for gambling never change, even with pay 500 euro, but should disappear from sight as quickly as possible to avoid altering the balance of my psychological already known to be compromised. .....
I think the maxim "eat to live" should be subverted in "buy it change the 50" ... Mornings where I lived for hours and hours I have squandered a wealth of money and coins, until the 'last unsuspecting customer asked me "Want some change?" and there need to decide what to do ... More than once I let myself go, five minutes from the end of the round and the torment, whipped to a "no thanks" ....... with the urgent need to take to test the victim ..... but our work is a mission ... sometimes, unfortunately, mission impossible!!
