Mid-night grocery shopping

The last few weeks I have ended up going grocery shopping after midnight. Mostly to get creamer when I have run out and forgotten to get it earlier. But I always end up getting more stuff than I go in for. It's the grocery store phenomenon.

So last night I was meandering through the produce section deciding if I would really eat those apples or if they would just rot in my fridge when I saw them. Cuties! Only the best fruit ever.



I grabbed a bag and went to checkout. Well it turned out that my cashier had no idea what she was doing. The bar code had been "cut" off and only the bottom portion was visible. Instead of looking for the other bar code that was on the opposite side of the bag she tried typing it in manually. But even in that she failed. She should have just punched in the numbers, which were perfectly legible, and called it good. Alas, she tried putting them in as produce which automatically weighs the fruit.

The bag ended up "costing" ten bucks. I was not happy. Two other cashiers came over and tried to figure out what was wrong. Even with three of them there they couldn't get it to work. Eventually a cashier service manager found his way over to us.

After telling him what had happened he told the cashier to just give me the oranges. Best shopping adventure ever.

As an added bonus I found the coolest mug on Amazon today. I don't think I need to explain it. Everything should be understood with this picture:



Does it need any more explanation?

I think not.
