JORDAN CASTRO


VERSION 1

white When Richard reaches the front of the line, the grocer greets him smiling and asks him if he has a rewards card with them.
white "No," says Richard.
white "Would you like one?" asks the grocer.
white "No," says Richard.
white The grocer begins scanning the items.
white "Are you sure you don't want to sign up for one? They're free... plus you get 10% off of your purchase for every $500 you spend here," he says, scanning.
white "No thanks," says Richard, "and I don't need a bag."
white Richard carries his things to his car then sets them on the passenger seat. He opens one of the granola bars then puts the kombucha in a cup holder. He takes a bite of the granola bar, opens the kombucha, takes a sip. Starts driving.
