What the heck was I thinking? You’d think it was getting ready to snow or something! I honestly just needed some cat food or I wouldn’t have even went to the grocery so it didn’t dawn on me that the entire city would be shopping for New Year’s Eve.
I guess my thought process was that more folks go out to parties. Guess I was wrong on that one. Kroger was a mad house. The lines were back in to the aisle. I was cracking up. People were all stressed out, as I guess they had places to be and they were angry at each other, it was hilarious.
I did see one guy that had a worse chip habit than me, his cart was just LOADED with chips. I was wondering where his party might be happening. I thought this might be a party I could actually have some fun! Once I was in line I did start to notice all the different items in people’s carts. You had ranges from lower class carts of chips and salsa with soft drinks all the way to shrimp trays and champagne. I guess you can get it all at Kroger with one stop shopping.
The lines did move fast, I have to give them that, they were prepared. They had almost every line opened and were herding them through like cattle. I was in and out of check out in about 5 minutes. The parking lot was packed too. Huge mistake, but then again I just didn’t think it through. I guess I will prepare next time!
