F Minus by Tony Carrillo for September 24, 2021

I’ve grabbed kind of a lot of stuff from Walgreens (6-8 items) & been asked if I wanted a bag.

This happens to me all of the time go in for one thing dont get a cart and then end up playing grocery Jenga as I make my way to the checkout area.

You should be used to humiliating losses by now.

I always grab a cart even if I plan on picking up just one thing. Bad knees, it takes the place of a walker. But I see people like today’s strip stars just about every time I shop.

I will at least let them go ahead of me at the checkout, on the grounds that they’re the ones whose hands are full.

I’ve lost count of the people I’ve seen with their arms full of items in a supermarket not using a basket or cart.

This is me :-)

My wife and I do the same, intentionally, to keep us from buying too much food we don’t really need.

Been there, done that, and dropped it all.

I do this often. You keep thinking, well that’s not big. Add that. That’s not very heavy. Add that. Then you get in a long line and it gets bigger and heavier.

There should be a small cart and basket stand in the back of the store.

These are the people I despise at Aldi

He’s right!

as would dropping that bottle of wine…..

Assuming a quick trip through a market this days is being grossly overoptimistic. What is humiliating is having to put your groceries down on the floor and shuffle along with them after a few minutes waiting in line. Because of “social distancing” the lines are MUCH longer.

Try a lobotomy. At least then you can say your stupidity is a medical condition

Surprised, then, that he doesn’t send her for a cart…

nope, automatically grab a cart or basket, don’t even think twice about it…

I usually don’t take a basket. I don’t plan for much and this helps establish limits.
