As I stood in line waiting to cash out at a “pack your own” kind of store, where customers pack their items by themselves, I stared at the customer in front of me reading the magazines. She was young, but she already had a tired look to her, with heads bent forwards—as if life had beaten her down too many times.
Her face looked pale from extreme tiredness. Her winter coat was thin and unbuttoned. The well-worn scarf around her throat probably did little to protect it from the cold weather. Her hands turning a few pages, were rough and red. When I looked down at her boots, I could see a small piece of a clear plastic bag partially visible through a hole in her left boot.
The items in her cart (购物车) included the cheapest cuts of meat and some things like rice and potatoes. There were also lots of noodles. Day-old bread, inexpensive soap, and tissues on sale—well, almost. In a far corner sat a little toy and a pretty dress that was 50 percent off.
She continued to look at the magazines as we waited, and more people lined up behind us. She finally took one out and turned it over several times, trying to find a price before finally turning to me.
“I’m sorry to bother you, ” she began in a shy and nervous tone. “But can you tell me how much this is? I forgot my glasses at home. ”
“Of course” I said with a smile.
When I finally found the small print and told her, she shook her head and put it back.
“They’ve become so expensive, haven’t they?” I said sympathetically.
“Next!” The cashier called in a gentle voice before she could answer, and she moved forward to begin her transaction(交易)
