My Cart, My Chaos
We’ve all been there. You’re strolling down the cereal aisle, humming along to the store‘s questionable music choices, when suddenly—BAM! You lock eyes with another shopper, their face contorted in a mix of horror and judgment. Why? Because you, my friend, just tossed a bag of frozen peas on top of your perfectly stacked pyramid of Cheez-Its and avocados.
Listen, I get it. There seems to be an unspoken code of conduct in grocery stores, a set of invisible guidelines dictating everything from cart organization to aisle flow. But here’s the thing: I’m a rebel. A grocery store maverick. And I’m here to confess that I break every single one of those unspoken rules.
Conquering the Produce Gauntlet: To Touch or Not to Touch?
Rule number one of grocery shopping: thou shalt meticulously inspect every single piece of produce, squeezing, sniffing, and generally engaging in a full-blown sensory evaluation before making a selection. Oh, and heaven forbid you touch an item more than once! That’s practically a cardinal sin.
