>>6288624Sounds similar to an experience I had at a Wal-Mart too, but the guy got the drop on me and I had no witty response planned. I don't usually travel to "Wisconsin's armpit" Racine, but I wanted to check Wal-Mart's clearance aisle for those Iron Man and Thor figures that were around about 2011 or so.
So I find a few figs, head to the check out and put 'em on the belt. This scrappy white guy cashier starts literally giving me the third degree, and stops ringing stuff up to grill me. He's like "so I gotta ask you man, what're you buying this stuff for? I mean what's goin' on man? Like me, I'll buy stuff for my car, or something for my girl, but c'mon, what's this for? What're you doin', man?" It was an angry curiosity, maybe you've seen it. The dude must've thought I was either a pathetic manchild or buying stuff to lure kids into my rape-van. I give him some lame "it's just stuff, man" and he shakes his head in disgust and finishes the transaction.
It caught me off guard, but taught me to have a ready response in the future.
