Something you won't see in the U.S.

Tonight we went to Walmart to stock up on some things.  All of the open checkouts were full of customers, so of course we picked one that turned out to be pretty slow, but amusing.  In front of us were two women with a very full cart.  As we were waiting behind them as they were checking out, I noticed that the cashier was ringing up a couple of empty beer bottles.  Dave wondered if they were returning bottles, but they don't do that here.  So, what really happened is that they got cold bottles of beer out of the refrigerated section and drank them while they were shopping!  And while the cashier was ringing up all of their purchases, the one woman opened another bottle, and the cashier actually rang up the nearly full bottle of beer.  Then they proceeded to pay for their purchases with at least three different debit cards.  As we were leaving the store I saw them at the camera counter looking at cameras (with the beer bottle sitting on the counter, of course). 
Brazil has zero tolerance for drunk driving, so I sure hope they had a driver!!!
