Grocery store check lane OMG moment!

LOL!!  Ok..sorry to have kept you all in suspense... but as your comments started coming in I was still in line and this story was still unfolding and  then I was driving home and you know... safety first.. cant drive and text or FB... hehe.... Ok, so everything is put away, made a fresh batch of my salsa and got my lunch together... now  let me tell you about this... ..no... no triple couponing Paula... I just was regular grocery shopping at my favorite Kroger store at 71st & Binford..

Pic I took of my favorite Kroger store in Nov 2011

 
I was just picking up mainly the fresh fruits, veggies and regular things we used up this past week..  I had a very nice shopping experience... several of the employees there asked if I was finding everything alright or if they could help me find something when I was looking a bit lost I guess...LOL... it wasn't until I got  up to the checkout lines that I had the OMG experience!  It was pretty busy in there and all the checkout lanes that had their little lights on were full. So I picked a line and stood there eyeballing all those gossip magazines that they strategically place there for you to gaze at and then decide at the last minute to throw on your the conveyer belt... when I hear "sir she is opening her line back up why dont you step on over..."  He then says "oh.. she is in front of me..." he gestures to me and says "miss... please, you were hear first."  I first thought to myself "WOW a gentleman"... but I didnt say that.  I motioned  to him.. oh thats ok and he said no, please you go.  Ok... so I said thank you and went over to the next line. So far good huh?  I thought GREAT! No one is in this line, I'll fly through here and be home in no time....... WRONG!  Doing the little "no one is in front of me in this line dance in my head... I concentrated on putting all my goodies on the belt... hard things, soft things, cold things... (yes... I organize my grocery belt...LOL)  After all was on the belt I turned around and there was this lady putting things on the belt in front of me.....

WAIT A MINUTE>>>>>  1. Where did this lady come from and 2. Why was she loading the belt up in front of me?

 I look around and start so my investigation.... when I notice 3.... yes, I said 3 FULL grocery carts full of bagged groceries... and this lady is taking things out of them.  I thought ok... she went a little over on her budget and needs to remove a few things.  Ok.. no prob.  She gets some more things out of one of the carts and puts back on the belt as the poor little, very flustered checkout girl was re-ringing up the items and subtracting them from the order.  They would ring a few and then check the total... then the lady would dig through the already bagged up groceries and pull out some more things... Clearly she had gone WAY over her budget.  By this time the lady was embarrassed and she was looking at the little girl like it was her fault that the groceries cost so much.... finally after it was all said and done the lady finally paid for her now 2 grocery carts of food... and left... yes... 2... there were so many items they un-rung off her order that it was enough to fill a cart completely full!!!!  They took more off her order than I had items in my cart!   Now... I have went over my budget before, with the price of groceries, probably most people have..... don't you kinda have an idea of what your total is going to be... I mean in the ballpark at least??   Go over by a little bit, a few items.. but to go over by an Entire Cart FULL!!!  That is Way off base!

So they lady finally left, and the first thing the very nice little cashier girl says to me is "Thank you so much for being patient."  I smiled and told her no problem... then she goes on to say... "this is my first day cashiering and I'm just having a day so far."    I again smiled and said " sweetie, you handled that ordeal  Fabulously.  that lady wasn't mad at you, she was just embarrassed."  She smiled back as to say Thank you for being kind.. and then she finished my order.. only messed up a few things but she caught them right away and fixed them... and I went on my way  out the store.  So that was my Big OMG moment of the day... whoooooosh... It looks like a lot all typed out... but just imagine me telling the story... you know full of facial expressions and  my hands going everywhere as I told the story... people tell me if you tied my hands I wouldn't be able to talk at all!!  LOL    hehe.... hope you enjoyed!!

Dr Pepper to the Rescue

Well... the very same McDonalds® did it again! I will spare them by not revealing their location!  lol They decided to put Coke® in my iced tea cup... you know the nice insulated cups they use pretty much ONLY for Iced Tea... the ones with the red lids... So, how is it an employee can see Iced Tea on their magical order screen, grab an big Iced Tea Insulated cup and go to the soda dispenser instead of the tea dispenser.  It is not Rocket Science!  So for the second time in less than 2 weeks time, the same McDonalds® has managed to screw up such a simple thing.  When you get your order you kinda half way expect it to be correct... Right?  So, again, I pop off the lid, rip the corner off the Splenda® packets and pour them in... and instantly my hand is being attacked violently by Fizz rising up from my glass!  Really?  Really?  They did it again.... pop in my glass instead of tea... and I'm already back to my office.  So......

Dr. Pepper® to the Rescue!!!

Thank you Dr. Pepper® for saving my day!  : )

Tiny Bacon

Really?? Really?? Tell me what kind of sorry excuse for bacon is this? I mean the entire sandwhich is tiny.... but the bacon!! I've. Never seen such tiny bacon! LOL!!!  Believe me!!  It's TINY!!  And Paper Thin!!  This picture absolutely does NOT do it justice! 

Oh... and Please Read on.... it gets better....

They even messed up my drink order!!... go on... read it... 

Ice anyone?

McDonalds® must have ran out of  ICE..... there is Not a Single ice cube in my ICED Tea :-(

This is what it looked like when I popped the lid off to put in my Splenda® sweetener.  

Look... the glass is not even full!! 

Paying for Air

Are you for real?  Really? 

Ok...as I was pumping my gas this morning, I happened to look over and noticed the Air pump...then I saw that you can now pay for your Air with your Credit Card!!!  What?! I never thought you'd 1 have to pay for air...and 2 be able to pay for it with a Credit Card!  Wow!  I was so amazed that I actually walked over to the machine to take this picture! 

Well... looking back at it now... I am one of those people that Never carry cash so, I guess, if I am gonna have to pay for air, it's a good thing that I'll be able to pay for it with my card. 

Carry on...

Little and Big

Drive Thru's - They are Fantastic.  But do you ever feel like they Love to play little practical jokes on unsuspecting drive through patrons???  And I don't mean like doing anything gross....(I really HOPE that does not happen)  I mean, like this for instance:

Today my friends Kiersten and Claudia and I went to a local Wendy's® fast food chain.  I love Wendy's® food.  Not so hot on their "new sea-salt fries", but in general... I think Wendy's® has really tasty food.  Love the #7 Chicken Filet Sandwich... and when in season, I really enjoy their Fish sandwich...(did you know fish had a season?... LOL)

Anyway... back to today.  As we do very often, we ordered our food and took it back to our office to eat.  Kiersten ordered a chicken sandwich, Claudia ordered a burger, and I ordered the $0.99 baked potato.  Here is where it got funny.  We sat down at our little table and were just talking away when Kiersten opened her sandwich up to add some salt and pepper... and what did she see.... this Itty Bitty Little Tomato glued to the top of her bun with a huge glob of mayonnaise. Really?.. Really?

Chicken Sandwich with small lettuce and tiny tomato

Ha ha... I know.. what is so funny about that, you ask?  Well, then Claudia opened up her burger. Okay, right about now is when I started hysterically laughing!!  Really! As she unwrapped the paper surrounding her sandwich, out popped a Gynormous Lettuce Leaf!  It was so freaking big that you could not even see what kind of sandwich was hiding underneath there!   So we went from one extreme to the other here in one drive thru experience!!! 

burger with Giant lettuce

Oh... and for the record... my $.99 sour cream & chive baked potato was Fantastic!  LOL  Really, it was probably the best one I have ever had from there.

OMG.... Really? Really?    Hope you enjoyed this as much as we did!!   Until Next time!!

Really? Moments

We all at one time or another have had or are witness to some OMG moments where you just have to say "Really?... Really??"  Well, that is what this page is dedicated to.   Topics will vary..... but I have to say in fair warning ... the fast food industry is fair game here... but not to be singled out... it may be fast food, bad driving, etc.  But really folks... its all in fun and a great way to let off some steam.  Enjoy!

So.... here we go... some of the things that make me say "Really?...Really??
