So I went grocery shopping at the commmissary today. And it was busy I expected that and the little old people were out in full force and so were the singles and families. I got to go alone which I don't do that often lately so I could get the max amount of coupons and save us some money. Anyway I try to be polite, stay out of other's way and in general mind my own business. However I do smile and make small talk if needed. So some lady and I were at the freezer case and I was waiting my turn. She turned and looked at me and I smiled. She gave me a stare and turned and left. No smile in return. What the hell is wrong with people today? Is it so hard to be nice to strangers when they are being nice to you? I wasn't doing anything wrong and was just standing there NOT IN HER WAY but still I got the look. I wonder if people are like that with me b/c I am overweight? This woman wasn't skinny herself so that would be a little hypocritical if that were the case. I just don't understand why people are so unfriendly. We are all going through tough times as a country and we are all stressed out but come on to not even acknowledge a friendly gesture that is just wrong. I try to do good things throughout the day letting someone in traffic or line and things like that and when someone does something nice for me I say thanks or way and acknowledge the good deed. There is just not enough niceness in the world anymore.....
And talk about food prices. What the hell happened there? I couldn't believe some of the prices at the store. I kind of long for the older days when things were much cheaper than they are now. Of course alot of convience wouldn't be there either I don't guess and I am pretty big on easy and convience at times. I am not one who can make biscuits from scratch everytime I get a craving for them or a cake everytime I want to bake one. Such is life I guess.
