Fluffy Musings Of A Southern Transplant Posing As A Lipstick Librarian...

24 September 2005

After a really long day at work and feeling completely unappreciated for the hard labor you put forth, what is the last thing you want to see while shopping at your (used-to-be) favorite grocery store? You guessed it - a large black rat scurrying across isle ten! The reality is that I am sure there are countless grocery stores in the health-conscience states that have this very same problem, however when a rodent of unusual size scurries through your line of vision it tends to be rather troublesome. Now I am faced with a crisis of belief. This grocery store is so nice and new on the outside and has items that I normally cannot find elsewhere, yet underneath its nice facade, it contains disease-carrying vermin that very well could be break-dancing (and whatever else rats do) on my future purchases. Do I continue to shop here and ignore today's misfortune, or do I take my business to the other grocery stores (which, I might add, do not even bother with a facade of niceties and which I am sure contain critters galore...). My dad would dismiss the entire dilemma and say "A little rat droppings puts hair on your chest." I wish I could erase today because I say, "Ignorance is Bliss." What ever happened to the corner grocery store where you knew your grocers' name and the name of his cat? (Food for Thought: Aren't grocery stores a lot like people you know? Attractive on the outside, but crawling with vermin on the inside?)
