I am officially ready for our newest neighborhood grocery store to open.  The girl and I needed to make a quick run this morning to our usual store.  We hit the doors at the crack of 10:15 am.  Yeah, early risers, we are.
Anyways, the store looked like a WalMart at 3 am.  You know, pallets and carts of groceries blocking every aisle.  It did not take me long to decide that this store isn't really needing my business today.
Still, I was not wanting to make another grocery run later today.  So we compromised.  I put back everything that was not essential.  Milk, nanners, Dr Pepper.  The rest of the stuff in my cart went into a pile in the middle of the cereal aisle.  We did not really need the beer, chips, salsa or other goodies.
Cashier saw me and asked why I pulled everything out of the cart.  Honesty is the best policy, right?  So I told him "There is so much junk piled up back there that I don't really think it could make the store look any worse.  Do you?"  He wanted to get a manager for me to complain.  I just wanted to get out of there before some of the crap they had piled up fell over on us and we were crushed under a mountain of Pringles.

Any grocery shopping before noon is "early" for me. The crowds are usually quite small until lunchtime.
See that is the thing. It gets too crowded by 10:30, so I want to be gone from there by 10.
