I don't know what's up these days, but why is it more and more people seem to be smelling or squeezing things In the grocery stores rather than just looking at them and then putting them in their shopping baskets?
The other day, at Whole Foods, I saw a woman checking out the peaches and taking one peach at a time, putting it up right to her nose and face, smelling them, and then putting them back. She must have done this at least five times before she decided she didn't want any of them and just walked off. That means that this woman's dirty, nasty, boogery nose had been all over these five peaches that she went and put back. That was when I decided to turn around and leave.
Yesterday, at Publix, I went over to the soap aisle, and there was this woman picking up these bottles of scented spray, smelling them, putting them back, picking out more bottles, at one point squirting a couple of them into the air to smell, then putting those back so she could buy one she did not spray out of. I found that very nervy. If she liked what she smelled and sprayed out of, she should have put that bottle in her cart.
Finally, again at Publix, when I was in the produce department, I had to wait to get a tomato while this woman was squeezing every single avocado that was next to the tomatoes with her shopping basket right in my way. She must have squeezed at least a dozen avocados before deciding she didn't want any and then skirting off.
These sort of things remind me of the story my dad told to me many years ago about a woman that he saw at the meat department that was taking her dirty, nasty, serrated fingernails and sticking them through the cellophane wrapping of the steaks. My dad was one to call out someone like that, and she just said that she was doing that because she felt like it and it was fun. She then quickly left when Dad was yelling over to the meat manager to report her. And no, she did not buy anything.
People are so gross!
