NA: A Smaller Box Of Condoms Pleaz

Nick Adams: A few days ago, I was standing in line at our neighborhood market. One of the people in line ahead of me was a young woman (early 20s). When it was her turn, she tried to discretely hand the clerk a large box of condoms. After the clerk rang them up, the young woman realized she didn’t have enough money to cover the purchase. I’ve never seen anyone blush that deeply. She hurried over to the appropriate aisle and picked up a smaller quantity, came back and paid while I and the gentleman (60s) in front of me waited patiently. As she left, the man in front of me remarked to the clerk, “She must’ve been expecting quite the marathon, but ya gotta wonder why it wasn’t the guy in here buying them?” The clerk clerk said something about, “better one responsible, then none.”

Question: If you had been standing in line while the scenario that Nick described played out, what would you have said after the young woman left?
