Blonde Bobby Pins


My daughter is a competitive gymnast, she competes once a month. She has long hair and wears it in two buns at the meets. Last weekend we had a meet, so off to Wal-Mart we go to buy some new bobby pins. Pumpkins hair is blonde, so I buy blonde bobby pins. Regular bobby pins are .92 cents, blonde bobby pins are $2.98. We go to the cashier and she rings in the pins and puts them in the bag. She pulls them back out and says whats so special about these pins, why are you buying these expensive pins? I tell her my daughter has blonde hair. Cashier says that is stupid. Cashier says I would never pay 2 dollars more for bobby pins, thats just stupid. I turned to my mom and I say is she calling me stupid? The guy behind us is laughing his head off. Cashier then puts them back in the bag. She then rings up two more items before she says I have to see those pins again. Cashier gets the pins back out and once again says that is stupid who would pay that much for those pins? Uh, hello. I think she meant it was stupid to charge more for the other color but I'm not sure. We all just walked out laughing no reason to be offended by .92 cent pin lady.
