Entertainment for free
I've dicovered my new favorite hobby, watching people in a grocery store. If you want great, hilarious, and free entertainment just go to your local store. Holy cow!! It's the greatest thing ever. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy the pleasures of seeing people get so frustrated with having to be at one end of the store and have to go to the complete other end to get the next item on their list. Or watch as they carefully stare down two aisle's trying to figure out if the specific kind of beans they want are in the "Beans" section or the "Chili" section. Or, if you're really lucky, you'll get to see somebody carefully and slowly look down an ailse, realize it's not the right one and quickly look away as to not let anyone know they almost went down the wrong path. It's great! It's like a time warp too. You go in at noon for an item or two and when you make it out, it's 7 pm and you've spent $300 on nothing but snacks and fillers, absolutely nothing you can have a decent dinner with AND you didn't even get the item you originally came in for. Plus, I haven't even gotten to the experiance of the check out line either. UNBELIEVABLE is the only way to describe it. Mostly because that's the only word you hear people say when they're in line. Old lady wants to pay with exact change but is $1.57 short because they raised the price of her beloved Ensure AND the city tax increased by a quarter of a percent...UNBELIEVABEL! Welfare lady wants to pay in food stamps but her specific brand of alcohol (which she'll drink while watching her plasma t.v.) isn't covered by food stamps...UNBELIEVABLE! Middle-aged man won't calm down because th EPT test that he's buying for his 20-something year old mistress scanned in at $18.99 when in reality the sticker price is $16.99...it's $2 and you're having an affair...UNBELIEVABLE! Or...wait for it...wait for it...the person in front of you at the express line has 32 items instead of the necassary 20 or less but he think's it's okay because he'll just buy 20 with one purchase and the other 12 with another swipe of his card, sorry dude, buy your 20 items and jump back in line...UNBELIEVABLE! So if you're looking for something to do on a random night and re-runs of "BONES" aren't cutting it...check out you local grocery store and realize your life really isn't that bad!
