older lady: why are these prices so HIGH

me: capitalism

older lady, suddenly going into beast mode: oh? then what do you want? socialism? communism?

me, who usually tries to refrain from throwing down with customers: idk, anything but what we have now lol ? free healthcare would be cool

older lady: WHAT i lived in great britain for FOUR YEARS and i HATED that. i don’t want to pay for somebody’s HEALTHCARE

me, losing my shit: okay but realistically that’s better than having 20 yr olds die because they didn’t get insulin right

older lady: but ABORTION is okay??

me, having lost my shit: are you trying to sound like a cartoon villain right now ma’am
