I know I should always listen to Mister when he tells me something, because he’s always right. He doesn’t like a certain local grocery store that starts with an S because, well, I don’t know why. He just never shops there. It’s not that close to us anyway, so it’s not a huge deal. But tonite I went grocery shopping for the Big Dinner, and for tonite’s dinner I thought I’d make macaroni and cheese. I like to use a 4-cheese blend, and Kraft has just the product – it’s a blend of American, Wisconsin cheddar, Vermont white cheddar, and Monterey Jack, and that with a dash of Dijon mustard makes the absolute best mac and cheese ever. I’ve been having a hard time finding it for quite some time, though, so I went to their website and it said I could find it at my local S store. Liars. They didn’t have it.
Know what else they didn’t have? Bell’s Seasoning. How in the heck can a major grocery store not have Bell’s Seasoning this close to Thanksgiving? I asked a clerk, just in case they were hiding it somewhere, and I was told that they aren’t stocking it this year. They did have tons of flavor injectors, though. No thanks, I’ll go to another store for Bell’s. Flavor injectors are like, so 5 years ago.
Then, as if my shopping experience wasn’t bad enough, I had to get in the wrong line. I thought I had picked the shortest line. In fact, I had. But I think it was short because everyone else had left to go to other lines. The customer in front of me was apparently still shopping with 1985 prices in mind. He had a budget and went way, way over, so first the checker had to explain that he was over, then go over the price of some of his items, then wait while he picked through his already packed order and decide what to put back. Meanwhile, I was joking with the guy in line behind me about the bottle of Jaeger he had that had a security cap on it and how it would be nice if that cap wasn’t there at that point in time. By the time I left the store my turkey was nearly thawed, or so it seemed.
So the moral of the story is that when Mister has strong feelings against a certain establishment, I should really listen to him. But I’m just too stubborn sometimes and insist on finding out for myself.
