shopping centre shenanigans

So I was at the supermarket last weekend.

I normally go 1/2 an hour before closing cause there is fewer people there to be all annoying and stuff, in this instance I went much earlier and on a different day.

What was I thinking.

Turns out that this time of day is sample time – yay little bits of food to make grocery shopping enjoyable.

first sample was steak – it was nice

second sample – muesli bar (this is where the story is)

so I walked past the lady with the muesli bars and she promptly puts the offer out ‘would you like to try (insert product name her)’

I say yes and as I do look for how to get the sample, normally there is a toothpick or something, there is nothing so I go to get one out of the bowl.

Lady goes nuts and says ‘Love, you can touch them with your hands’ which prompts her to grab some tongs from underneath the display and tong me a sample.

I say ‘Oh I’m sorry I didn’t see the tongs’  which she replies ‘the tongs aren’t to be used by you, they are for me’  I reply with ‘maybe you should make that more obvious before you offer someone one of your crappy samples’

By this time many people are looking at our little display of childishness.

I felt bad for the rest of the day for attempting to touch a sample with my filthy hand – damn you muesli bar lady
