Today at the grocery store

Tweet

As some of you know I am having car troubles and it has been a very long week. Even though my car is running hot I had to go out today because I left something very valuable at the school and I had to retrieve it (fortunately it was still there) and I had no food in the house so I had to go to the store. I went to the drug store first because I needed paper products and they usually have something on sale. I went to one located in a sort of strip mall type shopping area that also has a supermarket. Naturally, they didn't have any good deals even though today is payday and I finally have some money to shop with. I got one roll of paper towels and one of toilet paper and some candy and then went over to the supermarket. In the very front were some pretty sunflowers so I stopped to look and all the flower bunches were three for $10. I haven't bought flowers in months so I picked out three bunches, got a little fruit, cereal bars, some cheese and something to drink (single tea and juice). After looking at the wine and some other things I decided if I was going to pay those prices I may as well drive a few more blocks to Whole Foods which was kind of on the way home. I get to the check out and because I had forgotten to put the reusable shopping bags back in the car I grabbed one next to the checkout and put it on the belt ahead of my groceries. The cashier asked if the bag belonged to me. I said I was buying it from them. Of course, I had to tell her to put the stuff in the reusuable bag. She dropped one of my apples on the floor and it got damaged. She says "this one is buss" and then she rang it up. I asked her which it was and then when I saw it had a huge gash and part of the peel was pulled back she repeated that it was "buss" and I asked why she rang it up. She said she thought I would get another one to replace it waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay at the other end of the store, even though they were sold by the pound and she would have had to weigh the new one... So then she starts putting the rest of the stuff in a plastic bag and I say I want the stuff in the reusable bag which was why I got it. She says "the cheese is wet" which it is not and if I wanted it that way... blah, blah, blah. Those reusable bags hold a lot of stuff. They are sturdy and they can take a little moisture, not that any of my stuff was in danger of getting wet. What is with these cashiers? Do they not get the purpose of the reusable bag? A similar thing happened recently at the drug store.
