everywhere, anywhere, anytime, everytime

I met a man in the parking lot of food4less. He started by calling me “boss” before he stated his reason for stopping me from entering my car. He said, “I recently got a Ford Explorer and ran out of gas. I was hoping if you can watch my demo on this product I am selling. It’s for cleaning headlights and making them clearer.” I interrupted him and told him I am on a hurry and need to get back home. As I tried to close my door he slid his hands in between. “Hey man, I really need some money to get home.” I did not bring any money with me so I told him I couldn’t. He looked to my little cousin who was sitting next to me. She gave him 5$ and wished him good luck. I closed my door but unexpectedly the man asked, “Do you guys have any more? I’m sure you guys have more than this.” For my car, it takes 10$ to fill up the meter halfway. I would be glad to have 5$. I was angry but I didn’t show it in my expression. “Sorry man, I’m leaving, good luck tonight”, I said as I pulled out of the parking space. I looked in my rear view mirror as I drove off. His car was massive and wondered what went through his mind as he got that car. What my little cousin did was good and sweet but I felt it went to waste. The peak in gas prices may be terrible and bothersome but there are new efficient cars that aren’t gas guzzlers. I don’t know. What others do shouldn’t be my business. Good night. What I bought from Food4less didn’t even total up to 5$ Gee-whiz
