Are You Kidding Me? About once every couple of weeks, I stop by my local Safeway to get quarters for laundry. After I've secured my laundry money, somehow I always manage to get distracted by the products on the shelves (ooh, look at all those shiny labels) and end up spending more minutes than planned staring at products I eventually don't buy. And because my Safeway is frequented by many undergraduate students, I often overhear conversations while browsing that make me laugh as I think to myself, "Ah, so young and silly," which immediately makes me feel old.
When my girlfriends tell me about arguments they've had with their significant others, being a dutiful friend, I usually side with the girl, but in this case, I had no choice but to side with the guy.
Overheard in the "Asian" Foods Aisle at Safeway
Girl: Oooh, teriyaki sauce! Maybe I should buy this.
Guy: Don't. You don't need it.
Girl: But I like it! I want to get it!
Guy: You can make it at home. It's cheaper.
Girl: You can't make teriyaki sauce at home.
Guy: Well, let's take a look at the ingredients. (reading from the label) "Soy sauce, sugar, water,..." This is all stuff you already have. You can totally make it at home.
Girl: (still holding the bottle, reading more from the label) No, look! "Caramel coloring." See, we can't make it at home; we don't have caramel coloring!
Touché, Girl at Safeway. Touché. That is an excellent point. As I walked to another aisle, I could hear them continuing behind me...
Guy: Woman, I'm just trying to save you some money!
