Woman Complains To Police About Bad Cocaine She Purchased

December 19, 2006
In the strangest ever complaint lodged to police, a 50-year-old North Carolina woman said that the crack cocaine she had just purchased wasn’t very good.

Police arrested Eloise D. Reaves after she approached the Putnam County sheriff’s deputy at a convenience store Friday, complaining him that another man had sold her “bad crack” that contained wax and cocaine.

According to the Palatka Daily News’s Tuesday editions, Reaves reportedly pulled an alleged crack rock out of her mouth and placed it on the deputy’s car for inspection.

Reaves was informed by the police that she could be arrested if the crack tested positive for cocaine.

According to AP, the woman was charged with possession of cocaine and bonded out for $1,504.

Additionally, the Police also searched the man whom Reaves accused of selling the cocaine but he said he did not know Reaves.

After the deputy searched him, he found the man did not have any cocaine or money on him.

Sometimes a trip to the convenience store is a real trip!

E02. Adagio’s Trip at the Convenience Store

It all began when I had internal dialog stating reasons why I should not venture out into society. Why I should stay in my residence safe and sound away from any uncertainties; yet a friend calls to have discussions and request to venture out to fill our bellies with warm comfort food and I ponder for a moment…I have food here, I have books, I have music, I have Internet access, I have DVDs, I have drink, wait…I’m out of wine. But I have tea, I have coffee, I have vitamin water, I have all that I need.

Convolution, Graveyard Shift

A few years ago, I was in the liquor store section of one of my C-stores, hurriedly throwing up a just delivered order, while a wisened assistant manager was training a new clerk.

A customer walked into the liquor store, with about a 10 year old little girl at her heel, and asked the new clerk, “How much are your minis?”

The new clerk replied, “What kind are you looking for ma’am?”

“I’ll tell you what kind I’m looking for when you tell me how much they are!” the customer quipped in an increasingly agitated voice.

The assistant manager quickly stepped up to the counter and said, “I’m sorry ma’am. I think what she’s trying to ask is what kind are you looking for. Whiskey, schnapps, rum, vodka? There’s about thirty different kinds of minis down here and I’m sure you don’t want all the prices.”

The now livid customer looked at the new clerk and asked her, “Is this lady training you?” She gestured toward the assistant manager and continued, “Because if she is, you don’t stand a chance. She’s the rudest, most incompentent trainer I’ve ever seen!”

At about this time I decided to step into the discussion. “Is there a problem ma’am?” I asked.

“Yes there’s a problem, these people are rude and incompetent. All I want is a price and they won’t give me one!”

“Well, ma’am, I’ve actually been standing here listening the entire time, and my people have been nothing but polite to you. They’re just trying to get an idea of what you want so they don’t have to give a big list of prices.”

“My God!” she yelled, “will you just tell me how much your fucking minis are?” throwing up her arms.

In a soft but level tone of voice, I asked quietly, “Ma’am, are you from Utah?”

Taken aback, and a little confused, she stuttered, “Why?”

“Because,” I answered, “You’re being a real bitch, and someone from Wyoming wouldn’t be treating people like this. So…you must be from Utah. Are you?”

The lady grabbed her daughter by the arm, yanking her nearly off her feet, and dragged her out through the front door, into her gold colored Honda Civic, sporting Utah plates, and sped out of the parking lot.

Sometimes, everything just falls perfectly into place.

“Terror at the Mini-Mart”

Posted by Steve B under Creative Writing , Fiction , Work Avoidance

“Do you take checks?”

“I’m sorry, sir, no checks.”  He felt a sudden tightness in his chest, the first hints of a panicky fear.  Oh please, dear god, no.

“Uhmm….Credit Card?”  he ventured hopefully.

“No, sir. Cash Only, I’m afraid.”  The tightness became a vise around his ribs, crushing against his heart.  He gulped once, then twice, and with a trembling hand, drew out his wallet and fished out a couple of bills.

If I hadn’t spent hours and hours of my life cleaning up after idiots like this, I’d almost feel sorry for the guy.
