On Line Friends
A monologue by Janet S. Tiger
© all rights reserved 2016 tigerteam1@gmail.com
(Woman enters with a shopping basket over her arm, a bag in the other. She looks around calculating, then steps up and smiles)
Hi! I pick this one! I think this is the shortest line! I know the checker, she goes fast, and you only have a few things - I saw you when I was walking around.......but, wait, do you have an out-of-state check or something weird?
(Listens, smiles)
Good! You didn't look the type! I once let a woman in front of me because all she had was a soda, and she had some strange traveler's check and it took 10 minutes! And then, when I told her it was not nice, she said to me...'but you said you weren't in a hurry!'
Oh, no, I don't want to cut in front of you! I was just sharing a story because it looks like.....
(She stares in front, shaking head)
Price check! Oh, I just hate the computer stuff.....all that technology and we still have to wait while some poor boxboy has to run back and look for an item on a shelf that probably is a blank space and will take him 10 minutes to find! And then it will be the wrong item!
(Laughs, listens, changes a bit)
And of course there's always the possibility of him finding a naked man back there.....looking for his pants because someone took them! It's been known to happen, and I think it would make a fascinating story, don't you? Boxboy bags a bare body! (Smirks) Now wouldn't it be really funny if I got in line behind the person who was in the storage area with him?
(She opens the bag, smiles, listens, moves in front of the other person)
Thank you! I appreciate going in front of you, and you paying and all! It's so nice to make a new friend! .....
(Turns to leave, stops, looks back)
You are right.....I do shop here a lot......and even though I hate computers......I have a lot of ....'on line' friends!
(She exits to more 'special deals')
