My Funny Bagger

My last post was a pregnancy vent, this will lighten the subject a bit. This little incident happened last night and it was pretty funny. Erik and I stopped at the grocery store before we got home last night. We were still in work attire, meaning Erik was still in his scrubs from the hospital. We were in line...yes, behind the WIC customer. NO OFFENCE to people who use WIC, I wish I qualified. But, when you try and buy an eyelash curler and sneak your November WIC checks into October, you not only piss off the cashier, but you piss off the people behind you.

So, while we were all waiting for this customer's WIC checks to, I dunno, be approved my the government or something, Erik and I entertained ourselves by looking at magazines, etc. The bagger, who had nothing to bag at this point was watching us. Usually the baggers, no I don't want to search for the PC term for bagger, are teenagers or something. This one was probably in his early 40's and had a "special" side to him.

He decides to yell from the end of the checkout line to us, "Haha, she brought the hospital with her just in case! haha" .

Once I realized his slobbery voice was directed to us, and I remembered Erik was still in his scrubs, I realized how funny this guy was. Maybe you had to be there but I thought it was hysterical. I laughed for a few minutes...then again about 5 minutes later when I remembered it.

I received a forward once about a bagger that put quotes in customer's bags. Eventually, all customer's waited in his line just for the quote of the day. So he's my bagger whose quote made a difference in my day.
