The bag boy froze with this horrified look on his face (young kid) and says "really??"

Then everyone is staring at me and i'm trying my best to tear up and just waiting for someone to ask "what happened".

You could see everyone wanted to but was afraid to.
It was so funny because no one wanted to be the first to ask such as stupid question.

I gave them some time and then pretended to be holding back tears and said "i'm sorry, i gotto go" and hurried out the store.
