Example: Kevin had to go to the grocery store.


I'll tell you this much, that grocery store SUCKED.

First, he has to plan out walking there and finding out what he needs. Not an easy task for anyone that age. So he finally goes to the grocery store and attempts to check out, likely feeling a sense of accomplishment. Lo and behold, the lady at the checkout looking at him as if he has a swastika tattooed on his face. Seriously, watch that part of the movie and check out the look she gives him. Okay, bad look, got to get over that, proceed to check out.

She asks where his mother and father are. Not a friendly, "You doin' some shopping by yourself today?" No, it's blatantly asking where in the frick are your parents you stupid fricking kid. Then she asks about brothers and sisters. Let's get to the kicker: She asks him where he lives. Who in the frick is this lady to ask him where Kevin lives? You're a cashier at a grocery store, not a special ops military unit leader finding information on a suspected terrorist. Okay, so he's finally done with the interrogation and he has to walk him with groceries in the cold. Not only does the grocery store company hire employees with atrocious customer service skills, but they order their plastic bags from a cheap vendor. Kevin should have made a call to the Better Business Bureau.

These are the kind of posts I'm wanting in this thread. By the way I'm 15 minutes into the film and have 3 and a half pages of material thus far, all pretty much rants on how terrible of people the McAlester's are.

I was thinking the same thing watching this. I was about 13 when this came out and I'm thinking "Damn bitch, shut up and take the money!" I went to stores alone all the time as a kid and the people were always nice.

Where do I live? WTF? Hello! Stranger danger!!! Don't frick with me bitch!

you forgot about the part where she felt it was necessary to question him about the way he spends his money when she has never met him before ever.


She picks up the Army men and is like "What the hell is a kid like you buying army men? What kind of prank are you trying to pull?"

Back off you slut... It's none of your business how he spends his money.

Interesting story about that check out girl in the grocery store that asked Kevin all the questions. Turns out this was just her day job. She worked nights down at the Jiggle Hut as a stripper but when that wasn't making enough money to support her $2000 per day coke habit, she had to get a day job as well. She became a stripper and acquired the taste for coke because her father was a habitual criminal. Spent years in and out of jail and was never there for her when she needed a father figure in her life. He ended up getting arrested for the big one. Seems he and this other low life started robbing houses in the rich neighborhoods around Christmas while the owners were away on vacation. Jackass even made it easy for the cops to link him and his partner to all the houses because he always flooded the house by turning on the water faucets and stopping up the drains.

Watched HA with kids the other night.

There's like 7 people in the pews for a whole children's choir concert. Do their parents just hate them? I know I go to my kids' concerts and there are a ton of parents there. No way all those parents are missing a damn Christmas special
