So I'm in Susanville. Five and a half hours NE of San Francisco. It's... a small town. I'm in Safeway, buying beer. Low and behold, its on special with a 'Safeway' card. I've never been to a Safeway, but I wonder if I can use another card (Ralphs, Vons) to get the discount. I decide to ask an employee. She was talking to a local. Here's how the conversation went:

me: Hello, mam, I was just wondering if your store was associated with any other grocery stores? Like, Ralphs or something?

her: Well I'm just some stupid chick in a hick town, why don'tcha go up front an ask one the fellers up there?

me: I... I...

Hick friend: Haw, haw, haw.

her: What choo want? Discount on sumthin'?

me: ...I just want to save money on beer.

her: well sure, go ahead and use yer "Ralph's" card or yer "Albertson's" card. Whatever. One of 'em ull work. Go on now!

Hick friend: Haw, haw, haw.

Then I scurried away.

I am so moving here.
