Thomas looked back, eyebrows raised as he pulled out the cash and put it on the counter. Fortunately, he was far more level headed than this guy, and he wasn't even close to being baited. If anything, he was amused.

"Really? And I'm sure you have so much experience with that." Though in this town, who knew. Still, as Thomas eyed the bottle of bubble bath, he could see clear hypocrisy in all of this. "You know, I'd tell you to enjoy your occasional bar of soap, but it looks like you're a bit of a hypocrite." With a slight nod toward the bottle in the teen's hands, he said, "From the looks of that, you like a bit of pampering yourself."

Then another irritated voice came from behind him. "Could you please just take your change?"

Thomas turned, grabbing his bag and the change, stepping out of the way. "See? You were just making the whole thing take longer."
