Insulted By the Publix Bag Boy

Tonight I went grocery shopping by myself. To me, this is like going for an hour long massage at a swanky spa. I love to go to Publix at night when there are hardly any shoppers and best of all...NO KIDS. Don't take me wrong, I love to go with my kids places. Just not to the grocery store. I can't concentrate on my list and coupons with them there. They do like to help out, but it always ends with someone running over my heels with a grocery cart or me getting to the car with a few unpaid items that Caleb has stashed beneath his feet in the car part of the cart.

The checkout guy was a younger guy that I know from my very frequent visits to the store. He jokingly asked me if I got the senior citizen discount since it was Wednesday. I laughed and said that it wasn't fair that the seniors got a discount when we young people have all of the mouths to feed. The guy that was bagging the groceries was just listening and when we were walking out to the car he says, "That's great that you consider yourself still young!" Um...excuse me? Consider? I know I am not 18 anymore, but pulease!! Thirty four isn't exactly considered geriatric. He then starting rattling off about age being just a number, etc. Seriously...that's what you say to grandparents that are turning 80ish! I guess I do remember a time when I thought that 30 was old...funny how that seems young to me now:)
