My Circumstances at Walmart

Every Wednesday for work, I go shopping at Walmart with our giftcards, and it seems that every week, something crazy happens to me!  

Last week it was the fire alarm going off and the week before it was getting caught up with a weird guy lifting his shirt so he could show me his tattoos. Ya, definitely not what I came to the store to see. Well, this week, TWO crazy things happened!

Crazy Circumstance # 1

The first one happened when I was standing in the checkout line. I put everything up on the conveyor belt thing and spaced off for a minute. When I turned to my left I saw a guy who works at Safeway that almost always checks out my groceries. {Not checks them out sexually, you sickos, checks them out so I can pay for them...} 

I immediately smiled and said, 'Hey, Safeway guy!' because his name tag doesn't say his name, it just says 'Cashier', so even though I talk to him on a weekly basis I don't know his name. 

He smiled, blushed profusely and said, 'Hey, I can't believe you recognize me, Steffani!' I will admit, I felt a little...strange, that he remembered my name from my membership card, but I wasn't creeped out or anything, he's just a regular-seeming teenager who works at Safeway. 

I replied, 'Of course! I can't believe you remembered me!'

He blushed again and said, 'I'd remember you anywhere!'

And to that, we shared an extremely awkward silence before we both started laughing and said, 'Ya, well, see ya later!' 

It was especially funny to me, because he thinks that I'm married! The name on my membership card is Vince's, so every time I checkout he always says, 'Thanks Mrs. R". I could tell by his face that he realized almost immediately what he said, though, and that it didn't sound right. 

{This is actually the second awkward situation we've shared. He also told me 'Happy Mother's Day' when I was babysitting for my sister and I had to tell him she was my niece. He was truly mortified.}

Crazy Circumstance #2

It was pouring yesterday so when I was walking to my car, I was rushing. I saw one of those huge overly-compensating-for-something lifted trucks that guys drive but it was still pretty far away so I started walking in front of it. 

All of the sudden they honk and me and I freak out! Is this guy, who is inside his warm truck, really going to honk at me for walking in front of him IN THE POURING RAIN? SERIOUSLY?! So I did what any normal and annoyed person would do and flipped them off. Yes, I flipped them off.

After politely showing my anger I turned my head to make eye contact with them to give them a death glare when, whoopsie, I know the person! And they were honking to get my attention! Luckily they laughed right along with me, but man; I was ready to kick their car and run off I was so pissed.

Needless to say, I will not be flipping off anyone else. Well, unless I make eye contact first.

Does anyone have crazy stuff happen to them when they go to Walmart, or is it just me?
