Question...

Since when did people start handing out Jesus tracts in grocery stores? Honestly! There I am, cornered between the bananas and the sweet potatoes by a woman with large bouffant hair and a strangely large white hat. Of course, she doesn't just shove the goods in my hand, oh no! First she tries to chat me up. **Side Bar** This is just general advice to anyone who's interested. If you see a woman in the grocery store who's pushing a cart with 2 children in it, leave her the hell alone. She just wants to get her shit and get out, she does NOT want to discuss the amazing technology of carts that look like little race cars or how nice it is that the bakery offers free cookies to children. **End Side Bar**

So she zeros in on me almost as if she can smell my disenchantment with organized religion. Blah blah blah cookies.. blah blah blah cart cars... so I do the general smile and nod, all the while adament avoiding eye contact and swiftly walking towards the seafood section (maybe she'll get sidetracked by the tank of lobsters) but now, she *follows* me around! So now, I basically flee. Despite my incredible cart managing skills, she manages to stuff a tract in my cart before I get away.
