Well, I just had a rather embarrassing moment at the store. I was standing in line, waiting to pay for my things; I was next to be rung up. The guy at the checkout said to the lady in front of me, “You’ve got one more 2 liter of Pepsi here, too.” I glanced forward and saw 10 or 15 large bags of potato chips as well. The checkout guy then told the lady her total: $67 and some change.
I put the 2 liters of soda, the chips, her total, and tomorrow’s date together, and commented, “Wow, looks like you’re getting ready to have a big party.” The lady just looked at me and smiled slightly. She said nothing. Okay, I thought, so much for small talk…
As she was pushing her cart away, though, I looked at its contents. Only two 2 liters of soda. No bags of chips. She had a lot of different things, including a rather large assortment of household cleaning stuff. I looked at the checkout counter and saw that all of the bags of chips hadn’t belonged to her – I was looking at a display of chips, simply situated next to the checkout counter. D’oh.
No wonder she wouldn’t talk to me. Yeah, lady, looks like you’re getting ready to throw a big party with a cart full of Windex and scrubbing pads.
Ugh.
