I don't dig the actual food buying -- BORING! -- but the quirky characters I see at the grocery store make shopping entertaining. There was this nice older couple in front of me, the lady had a short, tidy hairdo, and was wearing a floral shirt and capri pants. A very normal looking lady. Then her husband turned toward me, and I nearly gasped. He was a cross between Elvis and Wayne Newton in the flesh! The man's hair was jet black, poofed back pompadour style, with massive lamb chop sideburns. His Hawaiian shirt was unbuttoned almost to the waist, showing off masses of gold chains and medallions, and was tucked into TIGHT jeans with razor creases. I AM NOT KIDDING! I had to get away quick before I laughed out loud.
Then there is this young hottie stocker guy that I see nearly every shopping trip. His skin is the color of a caramel latte -- he must be a tanning devotee -- which makes his perfect teeth seem whiter than Chiclets. He is buff, Buff, BUFF in his short-sleeved t-shirt and snug Wranglers and looks like a super model, but I swear the dude is the most unfriendly person in the world. If you smile at him, which I try to do to most folks to make the world a friendlier place, he frowns and looks away. I actually asked him a question once, and he barely grunted and walked away. The saying "beauty is only skin deep" is so true, isn't it? Today I looked but avoided him completely.
Finally, as I was checking out there was this really lovely young woman that had so many piercings in her face she was scary looking. She even had piercings in the middle of both cheeks, and her cheeks were sunk in like she had a bar inside her mouth that stretched between the not-so-small studs. Holy cats, why would someone do that to themselves? It may seem fun now but just wait until you are fighting gravity like I am and those cute little piercing holes become gaping craters sagging all over your face!
Oh well, the whole world is a show if you pay attention and I am TF (thankful) to this cast of characters for making my shopping more fun!
