Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for February 06, 2015
Transcript:
Arlo says, "Bread, milk, peanut butter, dish-washing liquid," Arlo says, "Lettuce, eggs, juice, ricotta... pearl onions... sun-dried tomatoes..." Arlo says, "Toothpicks! Horseradish! Capers! Cheese cloth?!" Arlo says, "Ah, come on! I'll be in the store for an hour!"

Yup. That’s what it takes sometimes, with stuff like capers and cheesecloth on the list.

And with travel time she can have more than an hour of uninterrupted bath time. Better luck next time peeping Arlo.

I don’t normally shop at the store my mom goes to, so I usually lose her while I’m trying to find something. ...Who knew a 5’ tall 83 year old could move so fast?

Good response to helping the customer feel at ease.
“Find the capers” (alternately, pearl barley) has always elementary in training new hires to think both as a stocker and as a customer.

I’m too much of a control freak when it comes to shopping to send my honey and I prefer for him not to come along. When we shop together I somehow don’t get everything I need (because he’s impatient) and he ends up with extra junk food.

The luckiest hubbys are listening to the radio in their cars in parking lot. Used to have to keep an eagle eye out for her emergence, but now the cell phone heads-up even permits napping.

He may take only an hour to get to the store and fill the shopping cart, but he’ll be in the ‘check-out’ line for a good 40 minutes (with the way stores have cut the work force to save money).

Sounds like he’s making his home made aftershave again….

Men and women each think shopping is a game; women think it’s “The Price Is Right” and men think it’s “Beat The Clock.”

Why can’t Janis go to the store and buy her own groceries?I’ve never sent my husband to buy something unless I was sick.

Too bad it’s not the “good ole days” when you could call the store and the groceries would be waiting for you…or….(gasp)…even delivered!!

And God knows, Arlo — your time is SO much more important than Janis’…
April Anemone over 9 years ago
Locake, you are 100% right! And I LIKE to do my own shopping — alone, with no one to bother me.

Fitz and Doctor Toon. It can take some patience and understanding….Customer: Can you tell me where the milk that is on sale, is?"….Me: "It’s right here below the big “Milk On Sale” sign….the one with the flashing arrows, and strobe lights….

Normal at our house: Phone rings, DH is at the store, can’t find whatever it was on the list. I tell him, “look around, ask the closest woman you see if she knows where it is.” Works every time. Usually, the watchacallit is within a few feet.
