'Splain This
So today I'm in my local megamart -- not the insanely large one that has its own ZIP code, just the simply huge one -- to get a few vittles, a Valentine's Day card, postage stamps, etc. and I turned down the "seasonal" aisle to get some Valentine's Day candy for my co-workers. What did my beady little eyes see? Easter candy.
Quick. Look at the date of this post.
Yup. So I asked the gentleman that was putting out the fresh candy if I had missed a holiday. He said "no" and that there was plenty left.
That's not the point. The point is what's the friggin' rush!! Don't these people know that Easter is a long ways away? Cripes!!! This is why I prefer the smaller, friendlier, family-owned grocery store (Karn's Market). Far less pretentious, better customer service, they always have hand baskets (there's another story), and I feel like I'm a valued customer, not a visitor from another planet.
So here's the deal: The megamart is owned by the Dutch so I'm going to show solidarity with my Muslim brothers and sisters on this whole cartoon issue by boycotting the store. At least until I need something that only the megamart has, like a good variety of kosher foods.
