So, yesterday my mom and I and the three girls were in Wal-Mart doing some *minor* shopping. I went to the deli counter to get some meat and while mom was standing waiting for it to be cut, I went to look for some bread. Pretty standard, huh?
Later last night, mom and I were talking about an incident that happened at CVS (will go into that in a sec . . .) and mom said "yeah, when you walked off, the lady at the Wal-Mart meat counter said 'does she have a large family? I see her in here and she buys several pounds of meat at a time." WHAT? This is a new super Wal-Mart-- it opened on March 5. How on EARTH does this gal know my buying habits-- I've bought deli meat there 3 times and YES I buy by the poundage (duh!) I just can't believe I'm THAT memorable. I mean, is 2-2.5 lbs of 3 or 4 different kinds of deli meat REALLY that much? It doesn't seem like it to me but, maybe I'm just used to the sheer volume of stuff we purchase?
Then we went to CVS and Olivia was in the cart. The lady at the pharmacy asked "how old is she? She's so tiny!" I replied "she's 16 months old." She replied "wow, didn't you just have another baby too? He's really tiny also, right?" HUH? I barely remember my childrens' names from moment to moment. I certainly don't remember a complete stranger's children!
Yes, I know, I do unreal CVS hauls but never in the pharmacy! Of course, I do rack up quite a few free $25 gift cards for recurring monthly prescriptions but!!!
It's kind of creepy for an actual person (read: stranger) to know my buying habits and to know and remember my kidlets! Believe it or not, I'm a very private person unless *I* choose to reveal something and then, I'll tell it all. But, I don't like total strangers getting into my business without being invited.
Ok, my rant is done!
Warmly,
Brandi
