Book Description

June 1, 2005
A hilarious story with a bizarre cast of characters that appear and disappear like Extra Terrestrials — and their ingenious methods of stealing in a large supermarket chain, and the personal conflicts and challenges for those who work to keep the shelves stocked. You’ll laugh at one moment then empathize the next when we meet Mrs. Johnson, the little old lady who wants to be “soft and smooth”— and will stop at nothing to do so. Or Mrs. Euphima Clarke who is as tall as she is wide with a voice to match. Meet the suave, Wilbert Wiley, a modern day Don Juan who is obsessed with every female he sees. They all come together in the supermarket — their neighborhood meeting place. Adding to the fun and interwoven within the fabric of the story is the coming of age of Bobby Blackwood, a six-foot-five college student who works part-time as a security guard to help pay his college expenses.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Blackwood tells an engaging tale that will surprise readers and have them smiling over the strangeness of human behaviour." --Gay Peppin, President, Writers & Editors Network May 5, 2005

"Blackwood’s foray into the antics of customers is entertaining and fun. She captures the real dynamics of retail stores." --Bob Tilley, author of Shoplifters On Wheels, May 10, 2005

"Blackwood caught life and put it in a book. Amusing, she doesn't overlook the melancholia inherent in human situations." --Todd Holmes, Toronto lawyer, May 12, 2005

5.0 out of 5 stars Laugh your head off, October 31, 2005
This review is from: Will That Be Cash Or 'Cuffs? (Paperback)
Amusing! When I read the title I laughed and when I read the book I couldn't stop laughing. This is an incredibly true story. The author wrote with a lot of heart and spirit. I could see the characters vividly as I empathize with some and wanted to give others a shake. I know what will be a part of my gift giving this Christmas. After all, laughter is the best medicine!
