I tried to post this a while back but Blogger decided my post was unworthy of publishing and promptly lost it. Hopefully this time it will deem my post worthy.
We've recently had a new grocery store built in our area and one afternoon I decided to check it and get some grocery shopping done. Bloom is a division of Food Lion and their big thing is convenience but since I was unfamiliar with the store layout it took me quite a while to find all my items. I wound up and down the aisles familiarizing myself with where stuff was located and also finding new and different things. I had finished the end of my shopping when I remembered I wanted to look for a particular eye care product so I made my way over to the Health and Beauty products area. I proceeded to wind up and down these aisles and made it all the way to the end somehow missing the eye care section. I backtracked and found it directly across from the feminine products section. As luck would have it a guy about my age was stocking said section but since I didn't need any of that I proceeded to ignore him. Well, he would have none of that. About the time I approached he turns to me, with a large box of tampons in his arms, and says "You wouldn't be needing any feminine hygiene products, now would you?" I don't know about you girls but shopping for those items isn't on my top 10 list of fun things to do, much less publicizing it to the help in the store. I smiled and said "No, I just need something for my eyes." He sighs and says "Man, I have all these boxes that won't fit on the shelf and I really don't want to take them to the back." He pauses and I figure he's done so I start to move on and then he says "And my wife doesn't need them either cause she's pregnant." With that newfound knowledge I started to move on but not before I hear him say "Hey Linda!" (Linda appears to be a fellow employee stocking a few aisles away) "You wouldn't need any feminine hygiene products would you?" Linda pauses for a moment and says "Not my brand." All recent trips to Bloom have been much less eventful. :-)

yeah a new post! That guy was very friendly!
THat is funny Kelley!
Ah, that my publix stocking people were so friendly. I am very amused! And on the list of akward things to buy, nursing pads are right on up there...so you don't have to buy pads because of no period, but you still get the joy of buying something that isn't exactly eggs or milk.
Hey Kelley ---What's up? We haven't heard any tales or news from you in quite awhile...
I once got asked out by a employee at the Winder Publix. His name was Bubba. :P (And yes, I'm serious.)
At our Publix here Jack has a stalker who works in the produce dept. This guy has a sixth sense if Jack is in the store and always manages to find him. Even at other places (ball games, mall, etc) he seems to find Jack. It's a bit strange . . .
