Random pictures

Due to trouble waking up today, I simply present a pair of pictures.

The first was sent by a reader who says he took this one of a store somewhere on the Iberian peninsula (obviously, he violated their "no pictures" policy, as seen in the bottom left corner).






The second is from a reader who says she was taking an online survey about grocery shopping, and discovered this multiple choice question.

    I'd have to say "honesty" is the theme of both pics.

    There is a very similar store here in Victoria, that is trying to mimic some of the European stores (Victoria is big on that sort of stuff).

    It's called "Candy Cures", I think, and it looks almost identical.

    I'm surprised the survey does not include the option : Eat Less.

    But I suppose that's unlikely in USA ;-)

    She marked the loyalty card and it still wants her to answer the question--does this mean the loyalty cards don't save you money? <G>

    I would totally shop at Happy Pills. Love the sardonic intent. But does everyone in Spain speak enough English to get it?

    What is Woman Infant Children? Does this mean the woman shops while the kids shoplift? Or does it mean the mother looks harassed and tired until the store owner takes pity on her and gives her a discount?

    I've also been to Happy Pills in Barcelona. Their candy is so expensive, though, that I only bought a jar once, and now I refill it, generally with m&m's.
