Rick Sanchez x Reader - Lust, Infatuation |Not a love story|(ON HOLD)

chapter 1

(Cover art done by me :] )
The bag boy at the end of my station kept playing with the bags when there weren't any items to bag in between customers. I stood there watching him be an idiot like it was a nature documentary on teenage boys adjusting to new habitats. He was doing what seemed like weird ninja moves with one of the bags now; He made a new face and sound for every move he made, the bag swishing around, swelling with air like a half empty helium balloon or shrinking and going flat depending on his movements. A few aisles down the manager watched him for a little bit too, making eye contact with me and flashing her palms upwards as to ask me what the fuck was going on. I just looked at her and shrugged, flashing my palms up as well showing I had zero fucking clue just as she did. She quick finished her conversation with the cashier she was talking to before the bag boy had distracted her, she turned our way again and called out his name. He stopped his shit immediately, being torn from his own little ninja world.

"Yeah?" he called back.

"Get your ass to the break room, I'm gonna talk to you later!" she scolded loudly, pointing her thumb behind her. He took off jogging to the break room.

I chuckle a little, shaking my head and then notice a customer coming to my aisle. The cart that was coming my way, filled almost to the brim with what seriously seemed like random stuff, was being pushed by a seriously tall dude with a lot of hair. I didn't notice that he had someone with him until a kid came out from behind him to help put the merchandise on the conveyor belt. As I watched them lay their stuff out, the man grumbling some things I can't hear and the boy responding to his grumbles with a voice that was clearly going through puberty, I get a good look at all the stuff they're buying. It looked like they were getting ready for an office supply shortage, a mechanic's convention and a party, plus a few extra random objects lying around. It made no sense whatsoever. Eventually the boy makes his way to the bagging end as their stuff gets close enough for me to reach them and start scanning the items. It was an insane amount of varying items to scan, it takes me a few minutes to get most of them scanned. The boy at the end was working his little ass off trying to bag items before more came, and there were many.

"C'moOn Morty, hurry uU-UhErp-up!" the tall old dude said, hurrying the kid and clearly unable to not burp during his speech. He emptied the rest of the cart, all the last items being alcohol and different types of medication, which required me to check his ID. Regardless of the fact that he clearly was old enough to have been purchasing whatever the fuck he wanted for a long time now.

"I'm gonna need to see your ID sir." I said as enthusiastically and friendly as someone who's ten hour shift was just about to be done can possibly say. He stared at me with dead bored eyes. I returned the favor, dead empty 'are you seriously serious right now' stares were a completely natural everyday stare for me. I rolled my eyes coincidentally right when he rolled his. He opened an old worn out wallet and passed me the card between two long fingers.

"Here, in case I look too good in p-uUhrp-person." he smirked sarcastically. I gave him the nicest sarcastic smile I could and plucked the card from his hand. I fake glanced at it and handed it back.

"$308.47 is your total, how would you like to pay today?" I say the rehearsed lines, fake smile and wait for an answer. He opened his wallet and sifted through some type of foreign currency that I didn't recognize. I could hear him mutter 'shit' under his breath and skim through the rest of the wallet as if there were any hidden pockets he wasn't aware of.

"Morty where'd you put my earth money?" he scolded the boy, sounding annoyed.

"It's in your right pocket, and its American currency Rick, not earth in general." the apparent Morty said. His lines sounded rehearsed and annoyed as well, also completely unfazed by the use of 'earth money'.
