middle eastern man in front of me Janet Kuypers 11/17/13 Waiting in line to buy coffee at the gas station, the middle eastern man in front of me was demanding his receipt as the cashier held up an empty paper spool, then added new paper to the register. We could all hear the man calling the cashier stupid and incompetent. After he left and got into his minivan, I saw his wife in a burqa waiting. Then I heard the twenty-something cashier mumble under his breath, ‘I fought, so you’d have the freedom to come here. I killed so many, and now I have to put up with this shit.’
