Poor Guy

I had to stop by King Soopers this evening to pick up some things. It was crazy there tonight. It was 9:00 pm and there were lines, even for the self-checkout. I really miss being able to do my food shopping in the middle of the night like I used to when I worked pizza.

There was this poor dude in the feminine hygiene aisle on his cell phone talking to his significant other. She had obviously sent him without being specific. He was reading all the various brand names and types to her and not having much luck narrowing down what she wanted. I really felt bad for him. It's hard enough as a woman finding what you need in that aisle, what with them changing the packaging and the design of that stuff constantly. It must be mind-boggling to a guy who doesn't have to use them. It's kind of like sending a girly-girl to the hardware store to buy screws. I'm glad that in our 18 years together, I've never had to send Marcus to buy anything like that. He says he will never buy any and I don't want to have to test him.
