The Case of The Shoplifted Shopping Cart
Have you ever gone shopping at the grocery store, filled up your cart with loads of delicious items and then all of the sudden looked down at your cart and realized that half the items in your cart were not yours but the product of someone else’s shopping habits. Neither have I — until yesterday. I knew something was amiss when I noticed that all my Freezies were gone and in their place was a giant rotisserie chicken. Somewhere between aisle six and the frozen food section I had inadvertently started using someone else’s half full cart. Jeezus. I don’t recommend this mistake. The embarrassment compounds as you wander around the store looking for another confused shopper with an illegitimate shopping cart. Once you’ve found them and explained your blunder you both have to pour over each others carts and determine whose food belongs to whom.
