Just Another Day In My Personal Alternate Universe

OK so today I was in a local Supermarket and I wanted to buy a Poweball Ticket, a winning one of course. So I approached the lottery machine and started to put a 20.00 bill into the machine to buy a 2.00 ticket, expecting it to give me change. Luckily I read a small almost illegible notice on the machine which read " No change or refunds". Which meant I would have buy 10 tickets, an amount I was not interested in buying, since I really only needed the one winning ticket I was interested in buying.
Anyhow, I decided to go the Customer Service Booth near the lottery machine to get my 20.00 bill changed into 5s and 1s. As I approached the counter a small elderly man, a term I can use since I am an average size elderly man, rushed in front me, exclaimed " Do you mind if I cut in front of You?"
In other words asking my permission for something he had already done. So, I mumbled "Yes"
He then approached the clerk and breathlessly announced " I want a gift card"
The clerk said " how much money do you want put on the card?"
The man said "Do you have gift cards?"
The clerk said "How much money do want put on the card"
The man said" I want a gift card"
The clerk said "I don't understand, how much money do you want to put on the card?"
The man said"I don't care how much money is on the card I just want a gift card"
The clerk said " You can't just have a gift card"
The man said " I want a gift card and left "
