The Stuff

Two things that are bothering me

Today the cafeteria was crawling with roaches. I don’t know what bothers me more: roaches, or the fact that the cafeteria is filthy enough to host them. Sorry lady, those aren’t dates and raisins in the oatmeal, so don’t even try to charge me extra.

The other thing that bothers me is old people who sample grapes and cherries at supermarkets. You’ve seen them — old women loitering around the grapes, reaching their bingo-marker-stained fingers into the bags. I can’t buy a bag without it being pre-opened and a few fruits snapped off.

My worst experience with this phenomena was at the Whole Foods. I left one of my grocery bags at the cashiers, noticed I left it when I was loading my groceries in my car, and returned to get it. By the time I returned, the cashier had sent my bag to the customer service desk — where there was a woman with a fist full of my cherries in her hand. She didn’t even bother to apologize and handed me my bag with one hand, and stuffed my cherries in her mouth with the other. I stopped shopping at Whole Foods after that (until I forgot last week and bought beer and cheese there).
