Do you know the one with the bad bank robbers and it had that guy who is blind in another movie?

True story. I was renting some movies on a Friday night at peak time 7 pm. This was a big store it had a back room 😉 No I was getting regular movie.
There are kids and families around and the guy in front of me doesnt have a DVD or anything. Little Jordans and Carters and Tiffanys running around as soccer mom is getting Air Bud 3 or something and this guy in front of me steps up to the counter and very loudly asks You got anything with midgets f?
I partly cringed and laughed as I looked around. Everyone within 15 feet clearly heard what he said.
