Where Shopping Is A Pleasure!

At the beginning of every week I sit down with my paper and pen and write out our grocery list. After that, I head on down to our local Publix to get my shop on. Sounds pretty simple right? Wrong. You see Matalie's favorite person in the whole wide world happens to be the manager at our Publix, therefore what should only take us an hour max turns into a two hour + event. There is no just walking in and getting what we need. First we have to find Poppy which requires walking past all the customer service people who each have to have their turn talking to us, then you have to page him and wait for him to come to the front, and after that the real fun begins. Because what kind of Poppy would he be if he didn't take his girl to get a cookie???

Once she has her cookie then it's time to visit each department, and talk to all the employees, rearrange all the shelves, and of course pick out all the food that she would like to buy.

Don't get me wrong. I absolutely love shopping at a place where everyone knows our name and is quick to offer help if we need it, but there is no such thing as a quick trip to the grocery store for us. Lord help us if Poppy ever gets another job.
