The couples seem to be out at my grocery on Saturday morning. Sometimes I bring my wife. She’ll still be looking at the label on something in the first aisle when I’m done.

I don’t usually post just to giggle, but I giggled and I needed you to know that. 🙂

Word, man.

I too don’t notice the M/F mix much beyond the numbers, if it’s crowded overall or not. I tend to go right after work and I leave early, so about 3:30 in the afternoon, or well after dinner when it’s again slow. Sometimes when I get up at 5:00 on a Saturday to smoke meat I’ll go in and grab something, it’s practically deserted except for the stockers… heaven.

If I ever have to go on a Sunday right after church, ugh, I’ll probably turn the place into a drive-thru.

Weekend morning to early afternoon at the latest. What I notice is that there is an awful lot of attractive young women, usually in yoga pants, in my store. Someone should have told me this when I was single! 😉
