Safeway on Saturday

By: Marcia Weisbrot (View Profile)

In front of him is a yuppie couple with a lot more than fifteen items in their shopping cart. They must not have noticed the giant sign that shouts "15 items or less," hanging above. Maybe they did notice and they don't really care. I debate with myself about whether or not I should politely point this out to them, and decide that they have really bad energy and I don't even want to go there.

As I hand my money and Safeway Club card to the cheerful cashier, I can't help looking at the pamphlet for an online grocer. "We know you have better things to do with your time," its headline blurts. Oh yeah, and miss all this fun? Not a chance.
