What NOT to Do in the Grocery Store

I was shopping for food today.

Halfway through the store I bent over to pick up a box from the shelf. (ok, ok they were chocolate grahmn crackers)

As I stood I felt the need for adjustment of my right boob.

I looked around, didn't see anyone. Put my hand into my shirt and fixed it.

At my age you don't want to walk around with one up and one facing down.

For the rest of my shopping this woman followed me around talking into a hand held device of some kind.

As I neared the end of the store I had the urge to stop, put my hand out and say: I know what you think so for fifty bucks you can put your hand in my shirt and check.

In the end she disappeared.

Anyway, I didn't have the nerve to say it.

 

However, lesson learned.

It has happened to all of us at some point.

Maybe you should have dropped your price?

I just posted this supermarket story on Facebook.
t b. Jul 9, 2012, 2:59pm UTC
I am grinning so big! Maybe but I have my self esteem to think about.

At least you were not in an airport line...
t b. Jul 9, 2012, 3:07pm UTC
LOL thank you for reading me.
Ann L. Jul 9, 2012, 3:23pm UTC
I would have asked her. If it was a woman following you, she's probably had it happen to her too!
Susan G. Jul 9, 2012, 3:24pm UTC
Oh the joys of security cameras! You're being filmed the whole time you are in the store.
JOHN BECK Jul 9, 2012, 3:28pm UTC
At least they didn't accuse you of shoplifting and make you strip!
JOHN BECK Jul 9, 2012, 3:52pm UTC
I'm reminded of a true story I posted here.
Debbie W. Jul 9, 2012, 5:03pm UTC
Hey, maybe she thought you were reenacting a scene from 50 Shades of Grey!! LOL
t b. Jul 9, 2012, 7:14pm UTC
lol

I'm almost done reading tha
t b. Jul 9, 2012, 7:18pm UTC
whoops. I am almost done reading that trilogy.

I think the trilogy sells so well because a very good looking, young, rich man sweeps her off her feet and does very nasty things to her. It's a dream come true for a lot of women.

I don't know how I would feel. It has not happened to me.

T B, we have been friends for years. I was gone for about 3 years. I thought you were gone. I just realized my email setting were not so I was getting notified when you posted. I have corrected that. So hello again. Hope you are doing well.
t b. Jul 9, 2012, 7:23pm UTC
Hello William. I've been gone on and off myself.

When times get hard for me I tend to either spout off here or just withdraw and only play games on pogo.

Thank you for reading me, it's nice to see you again.
William M. Jul 9, 2012, 8:20pm UTC
It is good seeing you again. I played poker on pogo a good bit till I came back to Gather. I'm so far behind here I have not been lately.
David W. Jul 9, 2012, 6:15pm UTC
Next time you try that call me. I want to be there. :-O
t b. Jul 9, 2012, 7:24pm UTC
I tend to do it every time I go out. Usually in my car. :P
Sherrie H. Jul 9, 2012, 7:26pm UTC
Lol...
Diane Huizenga Jul 9, 2012, 8:35pm UTC
wow thanks for the heads up

Thanks for sharing with Surreal Circus
Donna C. Jul 9, 2012, 9:41pm UTC
Oh, my, that could have been embarrassing if you would have been stopped for shoplifting!!
t b. Jul 10, 2012, 10:44am UTC
If they had I would have thought about suing them. It was like being on mission impossible!
Sophie S. Jul 10, 2012, 2:16am UTC
I used to work in a store and chat with the folks behind the security cameras so if I have to adjust, I don't even try to hide it. Just shove away.
t b. Jul 10, 2012, 10:41am UTC
I went to bed thinking about something else (I may write about it later today) I woke up thinking about how that made me feel. I buy less these days because the costs have gone up so high and I have less money. It would never even occur to me to steal. I wasn't embaressed but I know I will feel odd going back to a store I've been doing all my frood shopping for 25 years or so. They have watched me pull up my jeans and skirts for a long time.

And anyway, I wasn't wearing enough to hide anything in my clothes yesterday.
Karen E. Jul 10, 2012, 2:55am UTC
Oh dear!!!
wendy st. john-devereaux Jul 10, 2012, 5:47am UTC

blessings
Steph-in-NE ..... Jul 11, 2012, 8:04pm UTC
glad noone jump on ya, I would of flashed her and say see I am cool
Betty S. Jul 12, 2012, 6:00pm UTC
Oh my ..Some people are just unreal..Maybe this woman had the wrong idea about you. :)
t b. Jul 15, 2012, 10:52pm UTC
All that was in my bra (ever) was a breast with a nipple!
Jennifer T. Jul 15, 2012, 11:02am UTC
LOL!! Stashing stuff in your bra now huh? Too funny!! Target is the worst for that - they have walkie talkies and they use them very loudly. By the time the person gets to the door, they're practically surrounded. I was there once with my teenage daughter at the time and her friend and they were definitely being followed!
t b. Jul 15, 2012, 10:51pm UTC
That's what this woman was doing. Did she think I would reach back into my bra and try to ditch whatever I had lifted?

I felt assured about this because I had been shopping there so many years.
Ed Da Head Toker Jul 16, 2012, 6:55am UTC
I would have said, "Jealous that yours are not filled out like mine are?"
