It is an epic simile. This is because the comparisons are "long and involved". The main difference between an epic simile (also known as Homeric simile) and an ordinary simile is than an epic simile is very detailed and can span over many lines. Where as a normal simile usually is contained within one or two lines.
Example of epic simile:
But swift Aias the son of Oïleus would not at all now take his stand apart from Telamonian Aias,
not even a little; but as two wine-coloured oxen straining
with even force drag the compacted plough through the fallow land,
and for both of them at the base of the horns the dense sweat gushes;
only the width of the polished yoke keeps a space between them
as they toil down the furrow till the share cuts the edge of the ploughland;
so these took their stand in battle, close to each other.
Normal simile:
As white as a ghost

Answer:
The lady and the shopper
On a single beautiful Friday morning, I was running the cash register at my job, "Billy's Grocery Store." I had just got done scanning a huge load of groceries from a expecting mother and a tired looking father. It looks like they bought out the whole pastry section! But who am I to judge, because I did the same thing when my son was born! But then the next customer was a little man, and he had just got his groceries scanned and was heading to pay. He couldn't find his charge card anywhere and was repeatedly saying over and over how sorry he was for holding up the line. So I did the only reasonable thing. I pulled out my own charge card and payed for his little basket of baked goods, and medications. He was so surprised, and he explained that this was for his wife who is really sick. He went out to get her meds, and he decided to buy her some snacks to make her feel better. I think this was the best day at my job ever, helping people always puts a smile on my face! :)
