A couple of people Fernando had never seen before come into the store. The male half is one of those ratty-looking guys who enjoys placing an abundance of metal bits in his head while the female half is one of those Fernando-aged people who nonetheless look far older than their years.
They browse about and eventually decide on Season of the Witch. The guy plucks the tag and brings it to the counter.
“This is that one with the ghost-devil-demon-zombie-monster, right?”
Holy 3E added templates, Vecna! “Uh, yes,” answers Fernando, since the man is partially right and Fernando didn't feel like arguing the point. “Can I get your name?”
“Bobby Strong.”
“Do you have an account here?”
“Yeah, I should. Haven't been here in three years or something.”
Fernando takes a gander at his records and, hey, what do you know? “It seems you have some late fees, actually. Nineteen dollars, back from '06. Did you want to pay them off?”
“Uh...do I have to?”
“Well, you haven't been to the store in five years and you racked up nineteen bucks before. Put down say six bucks and we can trickle the rest out no problem.”
Instead of bitching and getting upset like the usual ornery customer, he puts down ten dollars upon the late fee. Marvelous!
Oh, except for the fact that the movie is now sort of...absent. Shame on you! That's what you get for seeing goodness in people, Fernando H. Stevens!
