Well, you realize that the sex labeling was rambiwrought not TomThumb- for all I know the mommycarts were normal size but happened to get caught in the produce section during a vegetable spraying and shrank. However I think ALex is really on to something with his designs and we'll see these at the next Grand Opening. Southlake is ALWAYS at the cutting edge of important yuppie achievements.
My old Tom Thumb had calculators in the handles. BUt they never worked- well, I mean, they might have worked, but I'd always get confused and have to start over, and it was just a big mess. Especially if you were buying produce- because that's higher math.
I think there should be slow and fast lanes too- and places to trade in a cart every aisle or two if you happen to get one of those awful ones that go in circles or make really rude noises.
Pet peeve-- the little old ladies who stop right in the middle of the aisle and start price comparing and ingredient studying every can of peas, even the same brands. You edge closer and closer, and then you start making little coughing noises. I try to make big movements on the periphery of their vision so they might notice me, but htey never do, and finally, I move to one side or another and push my cart into the 3" space on either side, and say, "oh excuse me, I thought I could make it by you"
And they glare at me like I was the rude one.
Oh - and parents who let their kids eat fruit in the produce section really irk me, too. Not just one grape, but handfuls of stuff, like candy from those open bins. Or they give them a bag of grapes in the cart and the kid eats them all before they get to the checkout. ANd WORST OH I HATE THIS and I really use the nasty glare on these kids- the ones that get left in the toy aisle while mom shops and they open toys!!! They do!! I can't believe this- and then mom comes to pick them up and pretends to be shocked.
"Oh JImmy! You opened all the matchbox cars!!! No- you can't have them! I can't afford 48 matchbox cars! Put them back! YOu can pick out one." ANd while Jimmy decides, mom hides the other 47 opened ones that Jimmy has been ramming into the wall for the past 45 minutes and goes up to the checkout, exuding integrity, and says, "He opened this, so we'll buy it." ANd gets character credit!
WOuldn't it be fun to get in back of her with the other 47 and say--- oh, hey- you forgot these.
Of course, my children never did ANYthing obnoxious in stores. Ever. |
