Well not that I need to buy another bottle of wine, but last night at Whole Foods epitomized my often gripe with unhappy people. As I was turning a tight aisle – my grocery cart semi-full versus on overflow ( I am trying to manage the outgoing expenses) – a sour-faced woman, was heading straight towards me. What do I do? I back up and push my cart aside and let her have the “right of way”. As she storms past me, I semi-gingerly say “You’re Welcome”. Well… she turns her head and yells at me “you are rude!”. And I yell back – no “you are rude!”. I do suppose I wasn’t really very gingerly in my first snap at her. But I was disturbed. Why couldn’t she simply say “thank you” to my kind gesture? Thus my blood slightly on a low boil, I turned around and headed over to cold beverage section of Whole Foods and pulled out a Frenchy – “Touraine – Val de Loire Sauvignon”. Needless to say by the time I opened this lovely and light gift from France, the grocery scene had nearly dissolved.

This makes me laugh out loud–having had many similar experiences!!! Exactly, what is wrong with just being polite and kind?! Sheesh. . .
I know – and I forgot to leave out the fact that when I went to check out — guess who I pulled up behind — HER! She looked at me and gave me this huge ugly sigh — and I just turned right around to get the sliced turkey that I forgot….
Yes, I find that I have shifted my purchases to things that I wanted but couldn’t afford before, like chocolate, wine, etc. It’s pretty awesome.
