Will That be Cash or ‘Cuffs? by Yvonne Blackwood
Crack up laughing when you read this hilarious coming-of-age story that teens, young adults, and readers aged 92 will enjoy.
Bobby graduated from high school but defied his parents’ wishes to go straight to college. After wasting two years of his time, he decides to attend college. His parents refused to pay all his tuition fees, so Bobby took on a part-time job as a security guard to help cover his expenses. On the job, he learns unbelievable things about the world “out there”, the dark side of the grocery industry, the ingenious methods of stealing in supermarkets, and encounters a bizarre cast of characters who appear and disappear like extraterrestrials. The story incorporates the relationship between a mother and son.
Meet some of the characters converging on the supermarket:
Wilbert Wiley-guard, modern-day Don Juan gawks after all hot chicks.
The Three Amigos, steals Listerine to get their fix.
Angel, little old lady steals body cream to be soft and smooth.
One-leg Carlos, camouflages missing leg for carrying basket.
Pierre Tremblay, thief from Montreal, seafood lover
