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?"

There is always one silly tart………………
Imagine her faced with a TV Remote…
Dude. Ice cream cake, all day long. Cookies are lower maintenance, but who doesn't love an ice cream cake?
Why not one of those famous Costco pizzas?
Home Depot sells grills, right? So why not get one of those big packs of ribeye steaks?
The obvious solution is to be found in the wine and liquor section.
I vote for someone else to be elected to head Entertainment Committee.
You could have suggested she get tomatoes instead.
That's a woman who was drafted into buying stuff for the birthday party despite having zero interest in doing so and despite having zero experience buying stuff for the company birthday party.
Donuts are very popular in some workplaces.
