Trader Joe (American, b. 1958) // Environmental Responsibility, 1999 // Brown bag made of composite materials || Willy and Peter were very hungry little boys. Every day they would come home from the schoolhouse and beg their mother for a snack. And every day, their mother had the same response: “Wait for dinner!” But the boys didn’t think they could wait. They were always starving! So one day, Willy came up with a plan. After school, they walked to the local Trader Joe’s and went up to the first checkout lane. Willy pulled a pistol out of his hat and shot it into the air, startling all of the workers and shoppers. “EVERYBODY ON THE FUCKING FLOOR, THIS IS A HOLDUP. PUT YOUR HANDS ON YOUR FUCKING HEADS AND DON’T FUCKING MOVE.” While Willy made sure the hostages stayed in place, Peter took a basket and filled it with all of their favorite goodies and snacks. Pretzels and chips and candies and cookies - what a haul! The boys left the store and were never hungry again. The end.
