I was able to leave the office at 3 today and headed straight to the grocery store. The beer aisle was loaded up with cases and cases of beer for the big race weekend. I actually came out of the store with nary a bottle of booze. Shocking news I’m sure.
There were a half-dozen children milling about the store with their parents. And, one little girl made my heart fill with joy when she screeched to a halt in front of the DVD display and whined to her mom to buy Rocky. Unfortunately, her mom didn’t go for it. I just don’t know why not since as the little girl pointed out it was on sale and it was Rocky, for crying out loud.
Is this a phenomenon where I shop or is this a universal truth…people turn into grocery store zombies and just shuffle from display to display, occasionally stopping all traffic to read the back of a spaghetti box? If you’ve never experienced this, consider yourself lucky.
