Super Cheap

We had nothing else to do while waiting outside Boiling Crab, so we walked into Super Cheap. Super Cheap is like any bargain basement store, but more dusty. Some of the products in there looked like they had been sitting there a long time. Some of the people in my party said it’s probably a front for some drug operation, but I just think it’s a family-​run store and they’re just trying to get by.
They sell everything– from shoes to laundry detergent to old-​school Barbasol. No food items. Phone cards to Mexico or Vietnam, get a set of keys made for your house. Random stuff galore! I picked up a few small bags called «Happy Birthday Surprised!» Supposedly you soak them in warm water to get your «surprised,» and at a dollar each, I figured that I’d like a «surprised,» no matter how crappy it might possibly be.
Don’t think about robbing this place, though. When I gave them a $ 20 for my $ 11 purchase, they didn’t have enough cash in the register so the owner had to give me a $ 5 from his own wallet.
