So I was in my least favorite place on Earth, outside in a public setting, buying foodstuffs. I buy the usual: Bagels, milk, waffles, yogurt, one coconut soda, and some rice. I decided 5 dollar microwaveable sushi is a bad purchase and opted for 4.50 sealed and salted mass-produced beef jerky. There's a Jack Links stand. I grab a bag. I have everything I need, time to pay.
So I go to the stupid friggen automatic check out, because no one uses it and I hate standing in line. About to pay (of course I couldn't since Citizens bank sucks, but that's a different rant) when it tells me I have an age restricted item. Am I kidding? No, not even Douglas Adams could think of something this ridiculous.
The cashier comes and asks if I bought medicine. I said No, and I have no idea what it could be. We look at the list. JACK LINKS BF JRKY (AGE RESTRICTED 18+). WE'RE BOTH SHOCKED. The manager comes over and asks what the problem is, and HE can't even believe it! He looks through my stuff looking for some kind of mistake, some kind of reasonable mistake of the cosmos that would somehow save humanity from its own self-depreciating spiral of utter stupidity leading ultimately to our own extinction; sadly he does not find it.
If you enjoy Jack Links, you better know politics and be old enough to go on 'those' websites.
