I just got back from grocery shopping. All in all, it really wasn't all that bad. I got a pretty good parking spot.... right next to the cart corral. And..... there were actually a few carts in it. I had to return bottles and cans.
So, I load up the cart and head on in. The place isn't that busy really. I was greeted by two greeters. Yep.. so far so good. I decide to grab a store circular and see if there are any specials. Yep..... lots of good stuff. Okay... now I'm off. Got my list and head for the back of the store. I always head to the back and work my way to the front. Makes sense, right?
Anywho..... I am listening to the piped music and whomever chose it did a damn good job. I can actually sing every word of the songs and it puts a bit of a spring in my step. Okay.... so a few people sort of look at me funny and steer way around me, but who cares. I'm tired... I worked all day.... I don't want to be here... and whatever.
Basically, I'm checking off stuff on my list as I go aisle to aisle. I've added a few specials.... oh... and the liquor aisle is totally empty. Imagine that! So.. I don't feel so awkward getting a bottle of Rum and some Strawberry Daiquiri mix for Friday night. Just when I think I'm gonna make if off the aisle.... a guy I work with says hey.
I know he saw my stash and now he's checking out what else is in my cart. WTH? So I start looking at his cart. Two can play this silly ass game.
First thing I see is milk, Rice Krispies, TP, and there..... hidden by the taco kit.... condoms! :eek
Naw... I'm just kidding. He had boring crap. Nothing I could tease him about tomorrow at work. He on the other hand knew about my stash. I'm not saying I'm a goody two shoes at work.... but basically... I'm a goody two shoes at work and this just wasn't gonna be easy to explain if.... if.... he leaked our encounter.
We start making small talk about today's events at work..... *yawn*..... and then it dawns on me! He is on the fucking liquor aisle too! So I figure why not just ask him what he's buying.... and I do. He looks around and back at me and just grins.... Wine! A box of fucking wine! LOL!!!! I know my secret is safe now. We say our see ya's and I'm off again.
Across from the liquor aisle is the bottle/can return area. So I go inside and that takes about 8 minutes and I walk out with $5.20 on a receipt.
Exciting, I know.... but hey.... you don't have to read this, yes?
The rest of the shopping was uneventful. I was second in line at the register.... #23. Funny how they put so many in.... You know they don't really have to put in more than #10, but they do it anyway. All those lines. :willy_nilly:
So I pay for my groceries.... over $100 and I got what? *sigh*
I'm out the door now and heading to my car. Well looky here.... there's a freakin' cart shoved up against the rear of my car. Did they miss the cart corral on purpose? It's like a few feet to the left of my car.... I mean... come on already. Jackasses! :mad
Anywho..... I toss the bags in the trunk.... and head on home.
At least I don't have to go shopping for another week now.
