Cant find a Disney cup

Travis C and I were driving in a car, he was driving. I think it was going to be a trip, but i am not really sure. I wanted something to drink so he pulled in this very crowded / busy lot with a convenience store at the end of a small strip mall building. I go inside and he stays out in the car.
I am looking for a water bottle like mug to fill up with the fountain soda. They have many options and they are all Disney designs. I see one I like but there is a woman already there and after i grab it she and the store clerk are talking and she mentions that it is the one she would like to buy (in a very nice way). She was there first, so I let her have it and I keep looking for another one. I see one I like but it has no lid so me and the store clerk spend forever looking for one. It is taking a very long time, and I know Travis has to be getting frustrated waiting.

I find lids I like and I think might match, but when I take it back to the mug I either cant find the mug or they dont work. So I eventually just settle on another one that was my back-up plan when I first arrived. So I grab one and walk away and notice the lid is sort of chipped. And I think if I am going to spend the money on it and all the time looking for one, it's not going to be broken, so I put it back and get another one just like it, also chipped. I grab another still, and this one is fine so I leave the bottle aisle and head to the fountain drinks and when I get there I realize my red sparkly bottle has turned into shoes, like the red ruby slippers in the Wizard of Oz. Since I cant fill a shoe with soda, I have to go put it back and get another, which I do and this time I just grab practically anything since it has taken so long.

I go get my soda, which turns out to be a sort of carbonated milk drink. It tastes yummy and I remember thinking "they had this in that one movie" and I think the movie was Son in Law but it was definitely a Pauly Shore movie. Travis now comes in the store because I am taking so long to buy a soda. I get ready to check out and there are two women working two different check out counters. Both are older women, ragged looking, a little trashy. They make comments about cutting Travis' hair, like they are the ones that normally did it and when is he going to need it cut again. Then somehow it's no longer Travis and it is now Justen Andrews and the women are making quiet remarks about something that I dont fully understand. Justen gets it, I think, and the most I can conjure is that they also sell him weed.

Fin.
