Default creative poverty

All through college I used to go into the produce department get one of those clear plastic sacks and stuff it full of everything I could find in produce. There is all kinds of stuff in produce from to nuts to tofu. Then I would check out using the self-checkout and punch "cabbage". Did that all through college. Once in while the newer cashiers would catch me using this ploy- usual ones knew people did that and didnt care- and I would say oops didn't see all that tofu or whatever in there sorry. It was just survival- when I got a real job I went straight. It was just like that Jimmy Buffet song, you do what you have to do to get by.
