Judging at the Grocery Store


I just found out that the new “in” thing to do is go grocery shopping on a Tuesday afternoon. Because of this of this new fad, I was forced to wait in a decently long checkout line. Luckily, mind wandering and superficially judging are both well developed talents of mine, and thus the fun started.

Cart 1: many pharmacy/beauty products, a case of Rock Star (which I believe is an energy drink?) and a cosmopolitan magazine. No food.
You must have a great self esteem.

Cart 2: 20 cans of soup, and 3 boxes of saltine crackers.
Do you have a soup kitchen operating out of your house?

Cart 3: overflowing with anything and everything you can possibly imagine.
You must have teenage boys. Why don't you shop at Cost-co?

Cart 4: cheetos, chips, and 8 cases of pop.
I’m hoping there’s a Tuesday night poker game at you house and that it’s not for your lunch tomorrow.

Cart 5: herbs, food with “all-natural” in bold labeling the boxes.
Sucker.

Cart 6: boxes. No fruits, no vegetables….just boxes
And what might your blood pressure be?

I do the same thing. And then I wonder what people think of what my cart says. I think it probably says: I grabbed random items as I raced through the store with my two misbehaving kids. And then I stop the daydreaming and retrieve my children from running wildly around the other people in line.
