There comes a time in every young person’s life when they must venture to the local grocer on their own. It’s a day that I’m sure parents both dream of and dread, as their babies are no longer under their wing. Parent’s minds are filled with many thoughts two of which I am sure are did I teach them to no leave their cart unattended in the aisle, and they know that the express lane is for express customers, right?
These are just a few rules that we can abide by to make shopping more of a pleasure. When you are sitting in the aisle, try to keep your cart in front of you. Try to stay on the right side of the row, that way those traveling in the opposite direction can pass, and those trying to pass you while you study the 18 different varieties of Kraft macaroni can pass you.
Finally, as you finish your shopping, maybe you just needed some basic necessities to keep you happy, perhaps some sandwich items, a few beverages, whatever. But if you are thinking about using the express line, think twice. What does that tiny, hard to read sign say? Ten items or less huh? Sure, maybe you have 18 items like this woman does, but what if they are the SAME items, but more than one of them. Do five yogurts count as one item?
No, of course not. Let’s keep 10 to 10. Maybe we can stretch to 11 if you are in a hurry, but let’s face it, if you have items reaching into the double digit; you probably are in no hurry. The express line is for those that need express care, more for people with FEWER items than 10.
