About this ebook
The book is a collection of short stories and conversations with my customer who checked out at my cash register at Walmart store in Sugar Land, Texas. After the usual exchange of greetings, I looked for any opportunity to initiate conversations with customers. However, many times, they were the ones who would start talking and telling me stories. Topics were anything under the sun.

CASHIER WALKED OUT ON ME
It was a busy afternoon and all opened registers had long lines. My present customer who was a woman, wearing a foreign dress, probably from India and in her forties, complained to me.
