Some things irritate the heck out of me for their simple inanity.For example,
last night I had a craving for WalMarts deli for supper. Chicken, okra, corn,
potato salad, rollsall that good stuff! When I got there, I saw the whole
area was dark and the deli trays empty. One lonely lady was slicing cheese and
Bologna. She said the manager had made a mistake in scheduling! Yes, I was
highly irritated, but I strolled by the counter that held packaged meat and
cheese. The place looked like a bargain day table on Black Friday. And the
produce section looked even worse.
I went to check out. There were five counters open. People were at least six
deep on each one. The customer service section was overwhelmed.
I know this is a silly waste of words. But the incompetence was disgusting.
Think I will shop Krogér next time. Good night, Pards.

Retired and proud of it
