The man really ate the grapes.
This is why you can’t grocery shop in every neighborhood. This wouldn’t have happened at my Kroger.
The scene
My aunt asked me to drive her to the store this Tuesday for a grocery run.
Being the upstanding niece I am, I said, “Yeah, let’s do it, I’ll pick you up around 11ish.”
My mom is off this week; she’s coming along for the ride.
I was a tad bit late
Never be late because if I left my house at 10:45 a.m., I would’ve never seen this nasty scene.
I got to my aunt’s house around 11:17 a.m. We headed to the first stop, Walmart.
Walmart was chill, it’s one that my mom and I frequent every once in a while. I found my bagels that were literally MISSING.
We leave Walmart and head to Aldi. My aunt is a cost-effective shopper. She’s one of those, “I can get this for a better deal”. So am I, so I am down for the drive.
Aldi was cool; we kept running into the same folks who seemed to come near us on every aisle.
I told my mom, “I wonder whether Beyoncé feels like this. To have someone following you LITERALLY everywhere.”
Anyway, we left and headed to the fruit market.
The disappointment started at the fruit market
After that fiasco in Aldi, my mom took a break. She was over the hustle and bustle of grocery shopping on a random Tuesday, and everybody was outside.
Michigan finally had a warm day.
If you know about the local fruit market organizations in Michigan, they are always PACKED.
It didn’t matter what time of day, and it was senior citizen discount day.
Ooh wee!
Occasionally, taste testing a grape
Never test taste the grape.
Don’t get me wrong, nobody wants sour grapes. I saw people grabbing one or two; I paid it no mind.
I was too busy, annoyed because this man kept following me in the store.
Everywhere I was, he was too. Like bro, I will call the cops.
At this point, I need personal security.
And they didn’t have my raspberries! I was PISSED.

Dollar Tree was just Dollar Tree
Once you go in five, the sixth one ain’t no different.
The only highlight of DT was me telling a man, “excuse me,” because I interrupted his casual eye scroll of the candy aisle. He said, “always,” and casually scooted.
Then my mom and aunt fell for the okie doke and signed a petition as we were approached outside.
Shaking my head, not in this climate are we giving out our information for free.
The chaos began
Now see, in my neighborhood, you can go to Kroger around 3 p.m. and have a decent outing. The lines may be long, bad park jobs, and no baskets, but you can still go to Kroger at 3 p.m.
First red flag, “Channie! Get me a basket,” my aunt screamed after I had just gotten done fixing my bad park job.
I told you, bad park jobs.
As soon as we hit the entrance
I am faced with a man GOBBLING DOWN GRAPES. I think nothing of it because he must be doing that taste-testing thing.
“Hey, imma go check out the raspberries,” I tell my mom. She’s like, “I am coming too.”
The green grape tester is still lingering around the berries, blocking the raspberries.
The last straw
He casually opens the blueberries and digs for a few with the same hand he just used to feed himself the grapes.
Am I too invested?
Yes.
But the worst part is, HE DIDN’T PUT ANY IN HIS BASKET.
He got a handful of each and contaminated them for a lil on-the-go snack as he shops.
Why is this a shock for me
BECAUSE NORMALLY, people at least buy the fruit they have gobbled down.
It was just disgusting and overrated.
I will never buy fruit at that location because I can’t unsee it.
It was time to go home
Sometimes the shopping trip gotta end.
We had our fun, did our job, but I never got my raspberries.
So, did I truly have a successful shopping trip?
Wash your groceries with vinegar, a fruit wash, always. Never eat them straight out of the bag; you truly never know whose nasty infected fingers were in that fruit bag.
Shaking my head,
