Observed while waiting in the checkout line at a South Bay (NorCal) Trader Joe’s….
Cashier: $14.92
Older WASP-y woman finishing her purchase: Columbus sailed the ocean blue.
Cashier [in a friendly, informational tone]: You know, that was not a good year for the Native Americans. [Proceeds to give her a factual mini-history including genocide and smallpox.]
Older WASP-y woman looks incredulous, responds with stony-faced silence, and hurriedly gathers her groceries and leaves.
Me [in my head]: Fuck Yeah Trader Joe’s!
