recession, what recession?

so. i overheard this woman today. shopping. arms full of clothing. full. full of things. so full she was dropping things. she had so much. there was a comment made. from a clerk. nothing mean. just a "wow. you've got a lot there."

the woman gleefully shot back: "there's no recession in this town".

hmmm. no. but apparently there's a lot of ignorance.
