I had an amazing dream. I was at the grocery store. They had
a bargain. You could fill your cart for $ 100 with whatever you wanted.
I filled my cart, and got to the register.
I filled my cart, and got to the register.
They girl ringing me up slid a head of lettuce over the
reader and called out “Canned Goods”.
The next items was Irish spring soap. “Baking Products” she
called out.
I thought this was odd.
She grabbed a can of coffee. “Frozen Desserts” she says, and
rings it up.
“Wait a minute” I said “That is not Frozen Desserts, that is coffee.”
“Its just how we do it” she said.
“Its stupid, it makes no sense” I said.
She shrugged her shoulders, and went back to ringing stuff
up. None of it made sense.
I found myself getting frustrated. Aggravated even.
And it was when she got to the gallon of milk, and called it “Household Goods” that I exploded.

“This is not Household Goods” I screamed, and I picked up
the gallon of milk and spiked it like a football, the carton breaking and milk
splashing everywhere.
“Oh no” I thought “I’ve really done it now” and I looked up to see that a manager had appeared next to the cashier. He looked at me with no real expression on his face, and said:

“This episode belongs
to you”.
I felt so ashamed.
I said “ I know. I’m so sorry. You guys can ring this stuff
up however you want. Its costs me the same either way. Can you bring me a mop,
please?”
Just For Today I won’t spill any milk.
