Stupid Clicking Morons... an eventful trip to the grocery store.
Our trip to Fred Meyer started out shitty.. Well for Jasmyn anyway. As soon as I put her in the cart she began trying to get out.. acting like she was in pain. Of course, who wants to sit in a uncomfortable cart with a piece of poo in the way. SO, we head to the bathroom for a change. I haven't actually HAD to change either of the kids in a public bathroom in a very long time, so I knew this would be somewhat eventful. I had NOT anticipated the designer of said bathroom being a complete moron! The changing station, which Jasmyn was NOT ecstatic about in the first place, was placed RIGHT NEXT TO THE FUCKING DOOR! So.. I get bumped into by every peer and their child while battling with my own hovering in an uncomfortable changing station. Most people were gracious and apologetic.. even though they weren't the moron that placed the station where it was. I was astonished to see a few people were actually annoyed with me.. and my screaming daughter.. They can fuck off.. this isn't about them. After the battle.. we continue our shopping excursions.
Whilst at Fred Meyer, we had a few things to return from presents that Jasmyn had gotten that didn't fit her. We figured that we could get a gift card with the amounts and just go get something else. That's not quite.. how. it works. We got the card.. but it was less than half of the worth that was posted on the receipts.. so we really couldn't get her anything at all. Apparently, they don't give back what was spent.. they give back the LOWEST price within the last 90days? Whatever!
OK.. so things are tight.. and it's decided that we needed groceries more than more clothes for Jasmyn.. so we go grocery shopping. When we are done.. it's typically easier and faster to do self check out.. it avoids any random button pushing by children ( they are button addicts) and any off handed remarks by other people in line or whatever. WELL.. NOT TODAY!! TODAY.. we get the biggest moron self check out babysitter every hired to do nothing while getting paid!! Jasmyn is severely pissed off at this point. She once again missed her nap. Aidan.. is pretty chill, but giggling like a madman, which typically means he's about DONE with this experience too.. and is getting uncomfortable.
I am minding my own business and checking myself out.. WHEN the STUPID CLICKING MORON SELF CHECKOUT BABYSITTER (after asking stupid questions.. like why aren't you talking and why are you kicking me to my son) STARTS CLICKING HIS FUCKING PEN ON AIDAN!!?? WTF! Who the hell does that? I would never do that to a relative's kid.. much less a stranger's kid.. and a customer's kid!? I almost came undone! BUT.. I clenched it.. and smiled absurdly and told the idiot.. "PLEASE do NOT do that.. My son is SENSITIVE to things like that". OMG.. I'm not sure what would have went down had Aidan started melting down. I'm fairly certain I would have melted down.. SO.. back to the car.. and back home.. to continue freaking out about our WONDERFUL shopping experience at Fred Meyer!
(note: this is not typical for Fred Meyer.. most of their workers are considerate and helpful and they carry many specialty things we need for the special diets in our home)
lmao!! Imagine THAT! It may have helped dissuade him from further clicking.. perhaps even have required him to join a clicking support group.. with 12 clicking steps to get better! :-p
