My friends and I walked into the A&P with nothing but our bathing suits on. I was a little nervous because I knew people would stair, but Queenie insisted on Plaid and I going in with her. We hit the door and in an instant stairs begun. We were walking and I had my mugg on Queenie because she always get her way and get to walk in front of us.
Everywhere we walked in the store she was in front, but I got over it quickly because I was too focused on being cold. We went to the meat counter and the man standing there couldn’t keep his eyes off of us. We just one type of meat, we pointed then he pointed us over to another aisle. I looked back and he was still looking at us like we were a piece of meat. It made me feel uncomfortable but it was cool. It kind of made me feel like I was the prettiest one for once.
Queenie grabbed what she wanted and we made our way to the checkout counter. She put the Kingfish Fancy Harming Snacks in Pure Sour cream on the counter. It was $0.49. Queenie, being who she is, pulled a dollar out of her swim bra. I hated it when she did that. Sometimes I think maybe I should do that, boys think it's hot. In an instant the ugliest person known to man comes up and says, "This is not a beach".
Queenie felt offended then said, “We weren’t doing any shopping, and we just came in for one thing"
"That makes no difference, we want you decent when you come in here", the ugly man says.
"We are decent", Queenie says.
"Young lady, I don't want to argue with you".
All the people were looking at us. I felt like we were superstars. After all of that we grabbed our bag and walked out the door; go in our car and drove off back to the beach.
