My mom worked as a cashier for years and she would tell some stories about how people would intimidate her while she helped them.

One time she related a story about how a bunch of 'Hell's Angels' types came into the store.

She was at the register and they got into her line.

As she told the story she said that these guys were "bigger than you and huge" - I am 6'2" and weighed about 220 at the time.....My mom was 4'11' and maybe 100 lbs on a good day?

She said she was nervous and freaking out when the first 'biker dude' put his stuff on the counter and started the transaction.......

A good story would be that they held her up, took her as hostage and she was rescued by a police SWAT team, but she became more and more animated as the story went on......

"This guy had tattoos and earrings, looked like he needed a bath, but........HE WAS THE NICEST GUY!"

"He asked me how I was, and said to me 'Yes, ma'am' and he was sooooo polite".

(I laughed because I was waiting for her to say she was going to the clubhouse to cook for them or go for a ride on their next Sunday get together......)

She was so impressed by that encounter that whenever she saw a biker on the street, she'd make it a point to tell me about the seeing them when I caught up with her.
