Tonight I stopped off at the grocery store on the way home to pick up a few things for dinner. As I walked in, there was a huge display of wine for $2.99. Now, we're not wine drinkers but I do like to keep a bottle of red and a bottle of white on hand for cooking, so I grabbed a white since I was needing it.
As I was getting in the checkout line, I noticed the checker had a nametag that read "courtesy clerk" and I thought that it was nice -- he must be in the process of promoting to checker. He didn't know all the vegetables I got so I had to coach him on the differences in the mushrooms (I got white button, cremini and oyster) and that my potatoes were Yukon golds... but the best part was that he said "could I please see your ID?" I was busy trying to keep Sarah from bouncing off the walls as she was doing her usual 5-year old-can't-stand-still-anywhere-dance, and I thought he was joking... so I looked at him and realized he was serious! I must have had an odd look my face so he explained that he had to ask anyone that looked under 30 :) I said well I haven't been carded in over a decade, but thank you for making my day!
Want to feel young? Go buy alcohol at the store and seek out the rookie checkers :)
