Big Deal? Big Deal.

I went to Costco this afternoon and I was in a hurry (again), but I managed to renew my membership and finish shopping within 30-minutes. Something funny happened. It was amusing to me.

My youngest daughter loves blueberries. I just began liking them recently, this year. We've been getting them at the grocery store since she's was about 2-years old, when I discovered how much she enjoyed them with her grandmother. 

While moving through lanes as quickly as I could, I had already passed the produce area. I know that it's a much better buy getting the blueberries from Costco and more for my buck, so I went back. They appeared fresh, but I'm picky with food and I had to find a tray that I thought wouldn't go bad before the weekend. Found it, but as I headed towards the checkout stand I thought to myself "now you know you didn't have to be so anal."

After paying for the groceries, the boxer (they don't bag) dropped something. I didn't see what it was until he picked it up and showed me that nothing had fallen out of the blueberry container. He said, "nothing fell out." I asked him, "did it hit the ground?" He answered, "yes, but the tray didn't open and none of the blueberries touched the floor."

I looked at him with timid disbelief. He asked if I wanted him to go get a new tray for me. I answered yes. He replied, "are you sure? You really want me to back and get another one?" I responded, "yes, because I want them to last long. Now they'll be bruised." He smiled. I smiled, but I didn't budge. He went to get a new tray.

Why did he take so long though? It was actually about 7-minutes, but remember... I was in a hurry before I even began shopping. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have been timing him had I prioritized my day differently.

So what he took a while. He went to get the blueberries that he didn't feel like going to get. It's his job, but I don't pay the man. He brought back a good tray though.

Funny Part...

I got a new tray of blueberries. Being in the hurry that I was in, even more so after slowpoke took his time, I loaded the blueberries in the back of the wagon carelessly. I thought twice about the way I positioned them in the box, but I didn't make any changes. I rushed to get into the car and go. I made 2 turns before I heard/saw the box (containing the blueberries) shift. I figured just my luck; the dang blueberries got bruised anyway.

Big deal? Big deal, but no real problem. The blueberries are still edible! ;)
