At the grocery store
Some of us will find this amusing. Some of us will find this offensive and/or insulting. And others will go "Urk?" at the sight. Anyway ...

I saw this at one of the local Wegman's (chain like Top's, Albertson's, Furr's, WinDixie, etc.) Monday night/Tuesday morning after work. Last night/this morning after work I stopped by, and snapped a quick couple of pics with my phone on the way out.

As an explanation - Wegman's encourages its employees to check BOB (Bottom Of the Basket). Cashiers at this store have apparently been doing a poor job of it, so management gave them this visual reminder:




And yes, "Scottish BOB" is saying "Do you know what I'm hiding today?"

The last two times I went into this store it was after work, so I was still in uniform, ie no kilt. I'm curious what will happen next time I go in on a day off work, kilted as usual.

Now that is clever! Wonder how many clerks will wonder what he's holding and if that is where the something is hiding. ha ha Sometimes something like that really makes you remember things.

DALE.

Bob -

Military Road, Niagara Falls. But if you could hold off until Monday or Tuesday (probably Tuesday) - that's when I'm going grocery shopping again. And since those are my days off, I'll be wearing a kilt.

Dear Santa, please bring me a pony and a plastic rocket, and a kilt like the shopping cart in Niagara Falls.


Yes, you're getting too close to obsessing.
