a Personal Failure when Confronted by a Mustache

i have been intimidated by people before but nothing can compare to what i experienced in NC...

so we went to the grocery store to pick up some good stuff: 1/2lb of bacon, 6 eggs, box of breakfast sausages, canister of taco seasoning, 4 tomatoes, bag of taco cheese, can of olives, green onion, a box creamcheese and 10lb bag of ice. except for the ice, the lady bagging the groceries overloads all these items into 1 bag. she then looks up at me and her Mustached lip says, "if the bag breaks, its your own fault!" i was so stunned and speechless that all i could do was nod yes and walk away in disbelief of the encounter... what i shouldve responded with: "really? how about filling another bag with half the items or double-bagging this one? by choosing either one of these options, you couldve saved the breath you used to place blame on me and i wouldnt have to hold the bag awkwardly till we get home." that or something close to that... but like the others i was with, whose eye contact i could only meet with a shrug, we were all far too stunned by this interaction to comment on it till we left the store and even then there was just more disbelief that the preceding had actually taken place. 8+ days later, i still dont believe i could have effectively expressed myself if again presented with the same scenario. in hindsight though, ive realized it would have been futile to try and explain the Facts to the ladys' Mustache and im glad i just kept moving on...

Son of a Cook was completely right about how much Power the Mustache holds and now i know Real intimidation!
