Last week I was in a supermarket, needing to break $20 I thought, "Why not buy some of that
Acai Berry Haagen Daz. That's $4.99 a pint." When I got to the checkout there was this woman with her WIC book out trying to decide what was covered with it. You know, like real food: meat, eggs, a couple of apples and oh, "Can I get this green pepper?" She peeled off six worn dollars and took her two bags out the door. But she had to leave some chips or something like that in the cart. Then here I come with one item, $4.99 for ice cream!!
Even the cashier saw the irony in that. Gave me a funny look.
I'm gonna tell you I felt bad. Like I just put gold trim on the toilet seat, pictures of starving babies with bloated bellies and I'm hoping I get home before the cream melts.
