Black Friday

Standing in line.
Read a magazine. Investigate sale fliers. Get to the front.
Go to the back.

Standing in line.
Text a friend. Pick up useless items. Get to the front.
Go to the back.

Standing in line.
Check phone for texts. Read an article online. Get to the front.
Go to the back.

Standing in line.
Grab a candy bar. Check phone again. Get to the front.
Go to the back.

Standing in line.
Put down useless items. Change ringtone. Get to the front.
Go to the back.

Standing in line.
Answer text. Hide the candy bar. Get to the front.
Go to the back.

Standing in line.
Look for Mom. Choose wrapping paper. Get to the front.
Let people pass.
Let people pass.
Let people pass.
Let people pass.

Standing in line.
Wait for Mom. Wish for coffee. Still in front.
Mom's here.
Checkout.

    The Captcha just before I got here was, no kidding: "sales."

    I have never gone shopping on Black Friday.
