If I Pass, I'll Take Two! My Kid Can Eat Bullets

Guy walks in, towing his rambunctious toddler daughter. Daughter is filthy, hair is unkempt, no shoes, she just basically looks uncared for.
She is also apparently used to doing what she wants, w/o adult supervision. I had to finally resort to "AH AH AH!!" kind of comments to get her dad's attention, when the 400 "Sweetie don't touch that!"'s went right over his head. (and hers too, apparently her ears are full of wax.) I guess he didn't care that she was playing with heavy, sharp things.

Guy picks out a hand gun for about $386. He leans over the counter and says to me, "I just got my stimulus check! If my background check comes back today I'm gonna buy me another gun!"
NICS check comes back as delayed. Guy pops his $25 on the counter to hold the handgun until the FBI decides whether he's allowed to have one or not. (Too bad he could have kids without a background check!) Guy and toddler leave in a car that looks like swiss cheese with wheels.

He couldn't think of something better to spend his stimulus check on? Like, ... REAL NEEDS?
I shouldn’t complain since our store needs every dime we can get (greedy bastardo landlords more than doubled our rent). However...reconcile obvious needs over something so foolish as a handgun. Just... wow.
Oh yeah and while in there, guy was bitching about the price of a gallon of gas. Irony.
