Grocery store drama.

Last night Grande and I had to kill some time away from the house...the good for nothing landlord was having an open house (in attempt to rent the place). Grande and I headed out for the grocery store to take care of some shopping. Of course we needed next to nothing, and we didn't want to buy anything extra that we would have to move, like butter. It didn't take us very long to do our shopping, about 20 minutes, we were supposed to be out for an hour. We proceed to the checkout line, of course we pick the shortest line, at least the shortest line available in a store the week of Thanksgiving. There we stand behind a young mother, her mother and the child of young mother. Sitting on top of their items are WIC checks...

For those of you who don't know me that well, in high school I worked at the local grocery store, so I am all too familiar with WIC checks and the people who use them. Not to be stereotypical, but usually the people who need to use WIC or other government assistance are generally not as smart as the average person...

This particular family were no exception to this rule...
Absolutely every item they had selected to be paid for with their WIC checks was incorrect...all of it! So not only did they have to jump out of line to replace it, the cashier did as well...needless to say we ended up standing in line for about 20 minutes (yep the time it took us to do our shopping). In that time about four other people behind us jumped out of the line into others and were well on their way home, while we were still standing there...waiting.

The best part of course is that mom of young girl with child was pissed at the time this whole situation was taking (it was her who had selected all the incorrect food in the first place!), she announces to the cashier that they are very pressed for time, because her daughter (mom to the child) needs to be home by 6 in order to have her house arrest bracelet put back on!!!! Wow...

After the happy family leaves, the grocery store employees were actually making fun of the whole strange situation...

I feel badly for the small child...she has no idea what type of family she has been born into!!

Needless to say with all of this drama, Grande and I managed to kill plenty of time, and arrived home exactly on the hour when the good for nothing landlord was getting ready to leave the house.
