I stopped by 10Box on Friday afternoon, for bananas, baggies, and lemons. The store was not busy. It's the end of the month. I got the handicap parking space next to the door.
My items were all straight ahead from the entrance. Easy peasy. Only two checkouts were open. I went to the closest one, with the lady who suspected me of winning the big jackpot on a scratcher a few months ago. The young man assigned to the other open register was standing there chatting with her.
"No, really. Like Guy. Hunter has one, I think."
Young Man went back to his checkout when I pulled in my cart. My Cashier asked how I was doing. I said I was trying to get out ahead of the weather. The clouds were black. She said it had rained on and off all day. Huh. Not at the Mansion. I shared that I had been caught by surprise with the rain the previous day.
"I know! I was outside grilling hamburgers! I wondered if maybe I should just finish them inside. There was no rain in the forecast!"
I told her of getting soaked while trying to get gas. Then she motioned her head to the entrance.
"That's what we were talking about. That man on the scooter. Is that his real hair? Or fake?"
I took a look. It was a 60-something man on a beeper cart, parking it back in the vestibule between the glass doors. He was wearing a visor. His hair was spiky, and yellow-orange.
"I'd say that's fake hair. I know you could get that color, but the texture looks like it's fake. They make those visors with fake hair. I've seen them on TV. Like boaters on like Louisiana Law. People out on the lake, with visors with fake hair."
Young Man came over and agreed. My Cashier had no idea such a product was made and sold. Now she knows. It pays to watch TV, I guess. I'm pretty sure Young Man had been telling her about Guy's Grocery Games. Guy's son Hunter is on it sometimes, and I can imagine him wearing a visor with fake Guy Fieri hair.
It's usually pretty easy to spot fake hair. Unless you have family like mine who often have different coloured hair from one week to the next. Currently daughter and grand daughter are pink haired and sometimes grand daughter and her husband have teal hair or purple. For grandsons wedding a few years ago, grand daughter had burgundy hair on her right with a matching eyebrow and deep teal on her left side with a matching eyebrow.
ReplyDeleteRiver,
DeleteI guess that's where the texture comes in. You can change the color, but real hair definitely looks different from cheap, mass-produced "hair" glued to a visor!
My daughters dye their hair so much I doubt they remember what their natural color is! I am just thankful that they stick to more normal colors for hair. We had a camper who dyed hers a different color weekly. I am talking primary colors, like blue, green, yellow, orange and red, which was pink. Oh, she was purple once, too. She was very close to my age and wore clothes that looked like she stole them from a teen's closet. Lots of odd people in this world. I suppose you could say she was a colorful character!
ReplyDeleteKathy,
Delete10Box had their own colorful character. She's nice as can be, mid-30s probably, with pink/purple/blue hair. In streaks. It doesn't look bad. She has high school gals that are her "groupies." They come in just to say HI. She doesn't know why the young kids like her, but I'm betting it's the hair.
