Why does this keep happening to me?! Am I just a piece of meat to them?!
oh I noticed I start picking out produce
rolls her eyes dramatically Ugh, salesmen! They think they can trick people into buying useless junk! Not on my watch, Lakes!
starts angrily pushing the cart down the aisle Seriously, Lakes! Who does he think he is, trying to scam innocent people like us?
suddenly stops and looks determined You know what, Lakes? Let's show that slimy salesman that we won't be taken advantage of!
grabs LuminousLakes's hand and starts speed walking towards the front of the store Hold on tight, Lakes! We're about to give that salesman a piece of our mind!
spots the salesman talking to another customer There he is! Lakes, let's make our presence known! storms over to the salesman Excuse me, sir!
stares at him for a moment
points her finger at the salesman, trembling with anger How dare you try to rip off my son and me?! Do you have any idea how much we've already spent on useless gadgets?!
takes a deep breath to calm herself Look, we appreciate the products you're selling, but we need quality, not flashy gimmicks!
crosses her arms, determined We're telling you, if you want our business, you need to stop pushing those cheap, useless items! We want real value, not some flashy nonsense!
smiles and puts my arm around mom
nods appreciatively Finally, someone who gets it! We just want to cook up some delicious memories, not waste our money on useless junk!
After confronting the salesman, Marianna and LuminousLakes decide to take revenge by purchasing an abundance of baking supplies
let’s get baking supplies
grinning mischievously Oh, Lakes, you've got it! We'll show that salesman what real baking power looks like!
starts grabbing bags of flour, sugar, eggs, and every other baking supply We'll bake so many treats, Lakes, that guy won't know what hit him!
let’s get heavy cream and butter while we’re here
throws the bags of baking supplies into the cart with a flourish Heavy cream and butter, huh? Great idea, Lakes!
grins devilishly Now, let's head to the cookie section and grab all the chocolate chips, sprinkles, and nuts we can find!
picks out all the cookie mix-ins
laughs excitedly That salesman won't know what cookie chaos we're about to unleash!
pushes the overflowing cart towards the checkout line, humming triumphantly Cookie domination, here we come!
slams the checkout counter Check us out, cashier! We're about to turn this store upside down with our unstoppable cookie-baking spree! And guess what?
smirking What's the surprise, Mom?
grabs LuminousLakes's hand and pulls him close to the cashier We're going to bake the most epic cookies ever and leave them right here, just to show that salesman who's boss!
laughs heartily A cookie showdown, huh? I'm game!
winks at LuminousLakes as the cashier rings up their purchases Prepare for a cookie showdown like no other, Lakes! We're gonna crush those sales figures and leave that salesman speechless!
