Perishable the thought!


I went grocery shopping sunday, and the check out girl was young...well. young enough to be my daughter. I asked her if she could please put the perishable items in separate bags (I take those in right away but leave the rest for hubby, haha being a semi invalid has its advantages). She looked at me all confused and asked what are perishable items?? Hmmm...dont they teach these check out girls anything? I remember when my brother was a bagger at the store up the street when we were kids, he had to go through bagging classes, yes there is a right way to bag groceries but no one knows that these days. Anyway, I digress (oh how cool is that I that I used that phrase!). When the gal didnt know what perishable meant I said "oh well just put the cold items together". She says ok. She scans my shake n bake mix and hold it up "is this cold?" I am looking at her like you have got to be kidding?? Really I was looking for the hidden camera, am I being punked? Nope she was dead serious. I said "no" So she continues scanning and bagging and she gets to my yogurt container..."is this cold?" she asked. "umm yes" I said.

This is frightening to me. I hope they dont put her in charge of Medicare when I am older!
