Grocery

At our grocery store the clerk empties your cart and each line has their own bagger. It is really kind of fancy. (They also have self-check lines, but why do it yourself when it costs to same to let someone else do it?!) Anyway, I was waiting in line to check out behind a handsome young man who was clearly making dinner for a date (on a Monday? I digress.) that evening. He had salmon, candle and flowers. Collective aww. Anyway, the bagger notices his clear plan for the evening and says, "Looks like you've got a date tonight. How sweet to cook dinner. This stuff isn't cheap!" just as she finished speaking the clerk pulls a HUGE box of condoms from the young man's cart and announces, "I think he has plans to get a return on his investment!" I wanted to die! The poor guy was mortified. I pretended to be engrossed in the magazine I had grabbed, but I was laughing so hard. He quickly left and the girls and I laughed at the timing of their observations. Classic, ladies, classic.
