[ nonsense! ]

soooooooo... i'm english, in my thirties & have lived in the states for around 8 years now. needless to say i come across things that aren't what i'm used to. here is one that i really can't get my head around!!

i'm in my favorite grocery store... wegmans, with my boys! it's very early in the morning and there must be a total of 10 customers in there...bliss! i bought some 'veggie chips' in trader joe's, my guys LOVED them & i could pretend that they were indeed eating some kind of vegetable!! i'm not going to burst my bubble by reading the ingredients!

the chip aisle is getting stocked so we weave through looking at the 297 different packets unable to find the one we want...

after going up & down it 3 times i give a very good description of what i'm looking for to one the guys filling the shelves & ask for his help...

his response is.... 'ma'am i just work for fritolay' in other words... i'm here to put these bags of 'fritolay' chips on the shelf, i know nothing about anything else & i have absolutely no desire to help you in any way shape or form if it means i have to physically take any extra steps or speak any extra words. the fact that wegmans is your favorite grocery store concerns me not... please do not bother me.

craziness...
