Duncan Cyrus, age 24, Grocery Store Gilf
The market is a place where you can see all kinds of people. I know this because while I have my headphones on and drown out the noise I observe the environment. I go by a set list and routine as I walk through the store. The market is pretty big and looks more like a warehouse really. To be honest it's like my socializing time outside of work.
Anyway, there was a time I met someone in the market. A very nice, pushy old lady, who tried to make sure I always get the right stuff in my basket. The first was more like an intrusion. She called me "sonny" and pointed out all the wrong things in my basket. I was quite livid at first that she was in my business without so much as an "excuse me" or "pardon me". I have a pretty strict diet because I don't like to cook a lot. I choose about four or five different meats, a loaf of bread, chips, crackers, juice, milk, water, four different fruits, five different vegetables, cereal, and maybe some type of snack. It's not like I eat unhealthy stuff all the time.
No, this old lady just plain bombarded into my blissful world and literally had me follow her, listen to about the groceries and watch her take stuff out my basket, and put stuff in mine she thought was supposed to be in it. The woman barely came to the height of my stomach and the little white skinned, silver haired, wrecking ball was crushing my peace. She even watched me pay for the items to make sure. We walked silently to my car and she waved me off.
