At the grocery store. April 1, 2014 9:42 pm bowser

On a trip to the grocery store tonight I noticed a bunch of things, most I’ve thought about before, some not.

Women with 3 and 4 small kids, one paying with food stamps.  Those poor kids will grow up without any working role model.  I can’t defend that, and I still think it’s probably true.

Those huge carts which plug the aisles with a screaming kid in each one.  They are a workaround, and a nuisance.  Kids don’t belong in grocery stores.

Same with pets.  People’s cute pets, usually dogs, are another nuisance.  For crissake, if you aren’t emotionally stable enough to go somewhere without your dog check into some state facility where you are fed.  The poor animals aren’t meant to wander through stores.  Or sit in carts.

Women/girls in jack boots.  The German Army would be a good place for those boots, and they look silly without a goose step.

The clerks tend to be dressing more and more like homeless people.  At least the younger ones do.  Apparently there is no longer a dress code, or if there is it’s “some excuse for shirt, pants and foot covering required”.

Enormously obese people riding around in electric carts.  They don’t belong in grocery stores in the first place, let alone having their visit facilitated.  If the normal cart doesn’t make a good enough walker, if they are so fat they can’t walk even with support, they don’t need to be in the store.  This does not apply to otherwise handicapped people.

Not bad for one trip to the store.  And before typing this I would have thought I wasn’t particularly judgmental.   I have a lot of work to do.
