Y'all have heard the story many times, but to reiterate the Dave Shervill story about "my own time/my own quid"...
I was able to get away today and go to our nearby city where they just opened a Tuesday Morning store. I needed shower curtain liners, so I had a good excuse after a busy time here. Yes leaving work behind because I needed a break, but no check-ins tonight.
I then stopped at the Large Lots store enroute home and they had a granola I like to use for part of a breakfast dish here for guests. All that to say, unlike what some of you would have done and turned this into a marketing situation, I recoiled and felt intruded on by a stranger...here is the scenario:
I am unable to get out to do this often, so I bought 10 boxes of said granola (stocked up on it). At the check out a woman in a certain accent says sarcastically "Gee I guess she really likes THAT cereal!"
It is bad enough people think they can comment and say whatever the heck they want on social media, now at the check out in person? Back off and leave me be ye old battleaxe from a state where corruption is rampant but shall not be named.
