So, yesterday was payday, and thus, shopping day.
Thankfully, I don't run into the complete asshattedness that Lupo, Mytical, or some of the other regulars do. But I get isolated incidents, here and there.
Yesterday was largely uneventful. Got to stock up on SoBe on sale. Love that stuff.
So, we trundle our full cart (we'd only gone in for 5 things, but sales were in our favor) on up to what looked to be the most promising register. I watch as the woman ahead of us starts unloading her cart and frown as she stuffs one of the items into the impulse-buy rack.
"Hey, don't leave that there," I tell her.
I get a glance for my troubles.
"Give it to the checker so she can put it back. Don't just abandon it," I say, a bit louder as she's moving further away and I thought I caught the word "refrigerated" on the side of whatever it was.
She looks back at me again, but still leaves the item in the rack.
I grab the item, which is at the near end of the belt while she is at the far end, across from the clerk, and see that it is a refrigerated item. I make some sound of disgust and comment about how this sort of stuff effects prices to my boyfriend.
I guess she finally must have decided that I wasn't going to shut up about it, and she took the item back from me and ended up buying whatever it was.
So, this makes the second time in as many weeks that I've basically talked someone into not abandoning something they'd picked up in the impulse buy stuff. Both times it was something refrigerated, and both times the woman in question ended up buying it. I don't get that, but whatever. *shrug*
