You wouldn't think that Sam's Club and Walmart would be crowded at 11am because, you know, isn't everybody usually at work at that time? Yes, but not retired grandmothers. I think every woman over the age of 70 was running errands at the same time I was.
And do you know what women over the age of 70 use when they shop? Checkbooks. Yes, I know, I didn't know they still existed either. But they do. And there is a direct relationship between a person's age and the likelihood with which they regularly write checks. Unfortunately, there is also an inverse relationship between a person's age and the speed at which they write, which may explain why I spent over 30 minutes waiting at the Sam's Club cash register. Seriously.
At least I got some much-needed groceries. And by groceries I mean $90 worth of Chex Mix, peanut butter filled pretzels, mixed nuts, pita chips, trail mix, and so on. What? Exercising makes me hungry! You know, like grossing-my-friends-out-by-eating-six-plates-at-Newcomb-for-dinner-while-I-was-in-college hungry. I even had to get out of bed at 2am last night just to eat a snack! Just... can't... stay... away... from the chocolate chip cookies...
