SO yesterday I had to go to Costco. I needed dishwasher soap. The only thing I ever use is the Electrasol Tabs-super convenient and they work great. I thought I had another tub of them in my food storage-I always do-somehow I didn't. The only thing I had was liquid dishwasher soap and it seems to be working just fine. Sadly the only coupon I had was for liquid Cascade so I decided to buy that....always up for a new adventure.
I picked up the Cascade and then noticed there was a Kirkland brand. Cascade was $8.99 for 1 bottle but I had a coupon for $2 so that would make the bottle $6.99. HOWEVER the Kirkland dishwasher soap had 2 bottles the exact same size as the Cascade for 9.67ish. Killer deal. Does it work good? Not sure. But it would be nice to have 2 bottles-1 for upstairs and 1 for food storage. Decisions, decisions. Casey always gets mad when I buy cheap stuff-but is Kirkland cheap? It was stressing me out.
I picked up the Cascade. Then put it back and grabbed the Kirkland. Then put it back and grabbed the Cascade. I was driving myself NUTS.
I didn't notice the man in the driveable shopping cart that was trying to drive between me and the dishwasher soap. The bald old man that looked harmless. He all of a sudden gave me a very crusty look and just stared at me. I didn't know what to say so I said, "Are you ok?" His grumpy response as he is STILL STARING AT ME was, "YES! Are You?" The only thing that came to mind was kill him with kindness so I put on the biggest fake smile I could muster and in a super sugary voice said, "I am great! Thanks!" He mumbled "I highly doubt that" and drove past me. He barely missed my toe. I honestly wanted to crash into him with my cart or dump him off his snazzy driveable shopping cart. Jerk.
But I didn't. I did laugh and make fun of him with a few customers who observed the whole thing. I felt like I was in high school. I had to make it crystal clear that he was the jerk-that it was totally normal to be indecisive when you are making a huge purchase like I was-which dishwasher soap to buy was life and death.
If you are heading to Costco-watch out for my friend. Tell him hello. Give him a hug. I wish I could go back and offer to buy him a hot dog and a smoothie for his stress. I hope I never treat someone like that! Life is just too short. I'm sure he was sort of justified. Stay away from me when I shop~I might make you grumpy!
