Juicy Karren Justice rough draft

Juicy Karren Justice.

              “Look ma’am for the last time we do not stock the item.  I don’t even think it exists.”  Adam rubbed his nose.  “Now please I have other things to do.  Shelves to stock, other customers to attend to.”

              The woman put her hands on her hips.  “Are you trying to talk back to me?  And are you raising your voice?  Are you trying to harass me?”

              “What?  No.  I am just explaining—”

              She pushed him with a boney finger.  “Look I don’t enjoy coming down here and dealing with someone who is clearly incopentent at their job.  I can’t belive I have to explain to you again I am looking for a specitly  perfume.  The one in your television ad that has that wonderful blueberry scent and is supposed to be on sale.  So don’t give me the fucking crap that you don’t have it.”

              “But I was trying to—”

              “What?  Show how useless you are?” Adam shrank from her as she flipped her golden hair.  “Are you serious?  Who hired you?  You can’t even show me to the right department?  How is it you haven’t been fired yet?  I want your manger right now.  He should be more competent then you!”

              “No, no.  I. . . I can show you where the perfume is.”  He gulped.  “It’s right this way.”

              Karren snorted.  “That is better.  It’s about time you had some backbone and did the right thing.”  She followed him.  “Now hurry up and show me where that perfume is before I give this store such a bad review that it will never recover.”

              He rolled his eyes.  “It is right around this corner.”

              She knocked him to the side.  “Finnaly.”  Karren grabbed the last bottle in sight.  “Good.  Now I will be going now.”

              “Hey you have to pay for that.”

              She glared at him with a death stare.  “Oh I don’t think so.  I read up on your store policy.  If a customor has been severely harassed by an employ they will receive a product of their choice as compensation.”  She waved the bottle about in his face.  “And I think this is just perfect for the way you treated me today.”

              “You have to be kidding.”

              “See.  See how passive aggressive you are.”  She used her finger to wipe just below her right eye.  “I am just so very hurt by your tone of voice.  I think I should bring it up with your manger.”

              “No, no.  Just take the stupid thing already.  Get out, get the fuck out.”  He crossed his arms and watched her go.  “Wait you should know about. . .”  He caught himself, realizing that it was better not to tell her.  “Nevermind.”  Adam grined to himself.  “Enjoy your juicy prfumem miss.”

              “It’s about time you straigend up.  Humph.”  Karren turned the corner and out of sight.

              About an hour later Karren stood in her apparment looking over her free perfume.  “Ugh the things I have to put up with.”  She set the bottle down.  “Everyone in this world is a total idiot.  I swear I wish I could wake up one day and people were not slowly losing their braincells.”  She snorted.  “Well at least whoever made this is a genious.”  She tore off the instruction lables, not noticing it contained a warning that the prfume had to be applied in a very specific way.  If not used with one application and no food or water for an hour there could be risk of berrification.

              “Now then.  I have a social event to go to.”  She squirted the perfume on her face.  “This is going to make me stand out.”  She squirted herself again under her armpits.  “It is always important to make yourself know, to make yourself unique.  How else are you going to have all eyes on you?  How else are you going to get people interested in talking to you?  I need to have someone to eventually be my husband after all.”  She snorted as she squirted herself again on the neck.  “That should be enough.”

              Karren walked into the kitchen and took grabbed a bottle of water.  “Cheap ass spring water.”  She snorted as she unscrwed the cap and took a drink.  “I need to write down that this isn’t real spring water.  It tastes like crap.”  She snorted.  “Hell it’s even making me sick.”  She threw the bottle back into the fridge as her belly rumbled.  “What kind of company decides to make water that just. . . ughh!”  Gurggle.  She wasn’t able to finish her statement as her belly bubbled.  “For fucks sake.”

              Karren narrowed her eyes as she marched upstairs.  “I don’t have time for this.  I have to get ready for that party.”
