Only in the Hood...

So it is 11:30 at night and I am on the grind doing my work. Then, that hunger hits me! I need a snack. The only thing left open is the liquor store across the street. I put on my shoes and take the short walk. As soon as I get in, a middle-aged woman is cursing out the store owner. From what I could gather, it seemed that she felt that they had implied through a comment that she was some type of prostitute. She did not dress or appear to be a prostitute, but she felt they had implied in during a conversation that took place before I entered. So as she is cussing them out and explaining how insulted she is, she is also paying for liquor. She insults them by saying that they might do that for money, but not her…and then hands them the money for the liquor. I’m pretty sure they sell liquor for money! What confused me the most is this: if she felt truly insulted, why still buy the liquor at that store?
