A Supermarket Funny

Or not so funny. Depends on how you look at it...

So today I was picking up some much needed things in shoprite. Like you know...ice cream (dairy free!)

Im about to leave and I'm like, maybe I should pick up more anti-nausea medicine? I like to keep it handy.

So the shoprite I was in was moving things around and it was huge and confusing to begin with. But I finally reach the (VERY BUSY) health aisles and I am trying to read the signs to tell me where they have typical stomach products. Then I hear:

"what are you looking for?"
It's an employee, an elderly man. I wasn't sure if he was talking to me, because there was about four people in between us. Someone else even answered him and he said "no I was asking her." he was specifically singling me out. So I walked over and quietly said, "Uh...stomach?"

"huh?"

"wheres your stomach products?"

*confused*

"like an antacid or something?"

"OH! um...hm...hold on. HEY! JEN! (other employee who happened to be DOWN THE FRIGGEN AISLE)

"WHAT?"

"ANTACIDS?"

"WHAT?"

"THIS GIRL NEEDS AN ANTACID!" *points to me* * a couple people look at me*

"HUH?"

"THIS GIRL HAS AN UPSET STOMACH--"

"actually, sir, I don't--"

"WHERE DO WE HAVE THE STOMACH STUFF? LIKE LAXATIVES AND MAALOX?"

"OH! WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY THAT FIRST? ITS DOWN HERE!"

"it's down there."

"Er...thanks."

*everyone in aisle staring at me*

*I want to die*


Fun, fun day folks.

Lesson learned- never ask an employee in a crowded supermarket for a remotely embarrassing item.
