(lygenztia *149) Cookie monster?


Saw this family “shopping” recently at an outlet/wholesale cookie store. They had their child with them and it was about 1:45PM in the afternoon. Tehir child appeared to be about 10 years of age. Guess he was too sick to be in school, but well enough to be cookie tasting.

I absolutely could not believe what I saw. These “people” would open a package of cookies, eat one and then put the package back if they decided they didn’t like them.

I am not kidding. Unreal. A staff approached them and asked “excuse me, what are you doing?” This couple were absolutely put out that the clerk would ask such a question. They answered curtly that they wanted to make sure they liked them before they bought them. And they did not see anything wrong with this.

Wow.

So, as I am getting ready to leave I see this family come out and load up their van. On the back of their junky old van was a convenience store logo. They were stocking up alright, I assume for re-sale at their store and (based on their girth), consumption.

Wonder what lard ass would say if someone went in his convenience store, opened items, tested them and then put back the unused portion? (unpaid for, of course)

Just a guess, but I bet it wouldn’t be “excuse me, what are you doing?”
