So last week I had to swing by Costco to get Diet Coke and tomatoes (we're now empty nesters, and I still don't know why we need all these tomatoes, or where they're going).
Of course you can't just go to Costco without taking a few laps to see if there's anything new and interesting on the shelves.
As I'm going through a frozen food aisle there's a woman with a cart full of bakery cookies. She's reading the side of a box of ice cream bars like it's a legal contract, looking back at the cookies, looking back at the ice cream. Okay. I'm just sight seeing, so walk on by when...
Ice cream bar lady: "Excuse me, can you help me?"
Dr. Grumpy: "Uh, I don't work here."
Ice cream bar lady: "I work at the Home Depot down the street, and we're having a birthday party there today for one of the other employees. If you worked at Home Depot and were having a birthday party, do you think you'd prefer these bakery cookies or the ice cream bars?"
Dr. Grumpy: "Ummmmm..."
Ice cream bar lady: "We're both part time employees, not full time, if that makes a difference."
Dr. Grumpy: "I'd go with the cookies. It's summer, and the ice cream bars might melt on the way over. The cookies are lower maintenance."
Ice cream bar lady: "Do you think any of the other people at Home Depot this shift might be allergic to nuts, or gluten, or have lactose intolerance?"
Dr. Grumpy: "I have no idea, oh, looks like my tomatoes are spoiling so I better get them home."
Ice cream bar lady: "I can't decide."
Dr. Grumpy: "Have a nice day."
Ice cream bar lady: "Do you think they'd prefer a cake?"
