Today, however, I went again. It was still a madhouse, but, in fact, quite fun. Hubby went along. We had a list to get us through the weekend -- meals planned and all. And let me tell you, he was just so darned RELAXED and FUN!
Okay, so he's often fun. But shopping isn't usually "fun" -- it's usually a chore. But we shopped and we enjoyed ourselves. Then we stood in the ridiculously long line for check out. A woman ahead of us had purchased a large item (I believe a microwave) and, of course, there was not a single associate coming to help her out with it. So hubby, sweet guy that he is, helped her take the item to her car and I entertained myself reading headlines on those horrendous tabloids at the check out.
Oh MY! The things Angelina, Brad, Jennifer... have to put up with.
Anyway, my biggest laugh was the very friendly and apologetic young man who was running the register. The first item I had put on the register was a bottle of toilet bowl cleaner. He had bagged it and was scanning the rest of my items to see what else he could place in that bag. I just had to laugh at what he selected. There is this drink in the produce section that I've been tempted to try for ages. Today I finally picked a bottle up -- Bolthouse Farms Green Goodness Fruit Juice Blend. The color is quite seriously green (a green apple and a kiwi on the label -- spinach, among other things, listed as an ingredient).
Perhaps you had to be there, but I could just hear his mind whirring -- "non-food item, non-food item" -- and upon seeing that bottle of green juice, it immediately clicked, in his head, that this was something akin to toilet bowl cleaner.
I took it home and drank it anyway.
