The cashier and her psoriasis

February 9, 2012

The cashier smiles at me and starts scanning the objects. She stops in front of my bottle of psoriasis shampoo.

"Ah! That’s new, conditioner shampoo. I have to try this. »

She would have said, "Ah! Medium-sized condoms," and it would have had the same effect among the other customers waiting behind me.

I answer: "Yes, it’s new. I don’t have that much psoriasis (and it’s true, but it was more to say that my dick wasn’t that average, I mean, yes, it’s average, but it does its job. A guy still has pride), but I find that shampoos of this kind tend to dry out the hair."

I was talking nonsense because I have a habit of buying new things just for the pleasure of trying them out. I wouldn’t say I’m going to buy a product just because its label has been changed, but that’s about it.

I add: "I have psoriasis around my eyes. But it’s light."

The cashier takes over: "I’m terrible. I have big plaques on my scalp, in my ears, and..."

In my head, I don’t want to know if she has any lower.

"...and at the back of the neck."

I am sure that customers hear everything and smile.

"It’s stress, it seems," I conclude.

"For that... ", she replied.

I imagine the customers, behind me, nodding their heads.

In short, the cashier at Jean-Coutu’s house suffers from severe psoriasis, but it really doesn’t seem like it. It’s incredible how well the cosmetic pharmacopeia does things.
