In less whiny news

[prog]

The Stah Mahket Shaw's at Porter is open 24 hours again, just like it was when I first moved here nearly six years ago. This is a good thing. I just visited and bought some phoney-baloney bagels, which is better than no bagels at all, esp. since I v. much wanted a hot buttered bagel and didn't want to go to Dunkies for it. (Also discovered that Shaw's has a half-price bin for day-olds, but all it had it in was, like, bulkie rolls.)

I remember the staff being a little wacky this late, and it's once again true. Sadly they turn off the self-service lanes overnight so you have to interact with checkout clerks. Mine was wearing weird little sunglasses, and I wondered at first if he was blind, but it didn't seem so. Maybe he was a vampire. He really liked the brand of bagels I had chosen and talked at length about how much he loves to eat them straight out of the package, except then he has to wash his hands after. ?!.

I think this particular fellow does have some vision problems of some kind. When he checked out my stuffs from Shaw's, he kinda had to look at them like really closely. But he then proceeded with the rest of the order, repeating his close scrutiny with each item. Nice guy though. Nicer than the standard Shaw's drone.

I'm sorry. Stupidity and not malice, and all that. Let's follow up about this off-journal.

Maybe he likes the onion bagels and has to wash his hands to remove onion whiff.
