Tonight I went grocery shopping and perhaps the dietys that be decided that it was okay to torment me a little, as if they hadn't already since I've been sick.
One of the local stores has their brand of soda on sale. We haven't had soda in the house for the last few days and seeing as I don't think it's a good idea for the husband to drink an entire pot of coffee to get his caffine fix, I had a mission to get some.
Wandering down the soda aisle, I see that the spot where the soda is has just the diet versions of their soda. Logic says ask someone if there's a display somewhere. So I do. I spot a manager in the deli and ask if there's a display somewhere of the soda. Rather than actually look or find someone to ask, he just glances down the soda aisle and says "Oh, that's all we have," and goes back to chatting with the deli clerk.
Nice.
Well, I still need other stuff, so I get that and wander down the main aisle to the registers when what do I see?
A huge frackin' display of soda.
The same soda that the manager said they didn't have. The same soda that was apparently not in the store. As I'm loading my cart up, the manager walks by and comments "Oh you found some." I glance up and smile a little.
Me: Yeah, it's nice to know where things are in your store, isn't it?
He gives me a funny look and I walk off to the registers.
As I told hubby this after I got home, I said I might have been sucky to the manager, but honestly? He contributed to it. He made no effort to look or ask someone if there might be more soda somewhere. He just shrugged me off. I could have just left my cart there and been a real sucky customer, but since I did need the items I was going to purchase, I didn't.
