I just returned from shopping groceries. Normally I already dislike supermarkers…. but on a day as today, it is even worse. Today it is Eastern… and it seems the supermarket was packed full with people!
Sure, people have to do their shopping for one day more. After all Monday the shops will be closed, but one look at what they people bought showed that this was not for normal living. Their shopping-cars are filled complete with luxury food and stuff. It seems it could not be expensive enough…
Then their children… Now, don’t get me wrong, I don’t dislike children at all. But after the 5th time a kid rides a shopping car that is way too big for time against my ankles, I start to get a bit annoyed… And for me a child doesn’t have to be silent, but the way they act in the supermarket in way overdone. A play-yard is nothing compared with. And no of the parents seem to have the need to say something about it.
Then the parents theirselves… on the most weird places in the shop they need to have a chat with the people they know… Not a moment wondering if they may block the way for someone else. And if you ask friendly if they could move a bit, they react irritated.
Nay, this kind of shopping I don’t like at all. I am glad it is done for this weekend and that I am home again.
Awww. A grumpy Robbie…
But a bit I understand what you mean. As you know I love to shop, but not at supermarkets. I only get there the things I really need there and leave as quickly as possible again. Meat, vegetables and alike I get at environment/animal friendly shops. And this is something most people didn’t expect from me, because I am not the typical “gieten wollen sokken” person :).
It is strange to see so many people shop their groceries at holidays as if there was no tomorrow.
