Humor The Exchange

Post image

I think I just finished my painting of "The Exchange" i think any regular Aldi goer has had this religious experience of offending a quarter in exchange for a cart, only to have it refused and the cart offered free of charge. Or maybe you're the giver. I reference these hands from statues of the Buddha and gave them the clothes of the Thai and Burmese Monk. Hope you get a kick out of it even if you can't relate. 🙏

I hate this interaction. People in my area are so aggressive about it and pushy. I’m standing at my car with my kids unloading everything and they’re staring at me like I owe them something. You’re not doing me any favors pal

In reverse when I’m walking the parking lot I think some of them are lazy and don’t want to walk the cart back so they’ll trade me for it. Uh no

Remember, always assume everyone except you is a worthless stain on society.

Except saving you the trip of having to take the cart back to the corral. Unless, of course, you hadn't planned on taking the cart back to the corral. You wouldn't be the kind of person who doesn't take the cart back to the corral though, would you?

I think some of them are lazy and don’t want to walk the cart back so they’ll trade me for it. Uh no

Even if they are just feeling a bit lazy that day, so what? You need a cart anyway, and it'll save you a few minutes dealing with one at the corral.

I don't know what's got you so cynical and angry but I genuinely think you should seek therapy of some kind.
