A Little bit of This, and a Little bit of That

So I was  at the local Gordon Food store today picking some supplies for the Deli.  I witnessed a very sad sight.  There was a woman in the store with 3 young boys.  I would guess they were between the ages of 4 to 9. 

I don’t know if you have ever been into a Gordon Food Store, but they usually have samples of their products set out all over the store for their customers to taste.  They also have coffee and punch at the front of the store for their customers to try. 

Now I am going to assume that the three children were not paying customers.  Each of the three boys had a 6 inch round plate full of food samples.  I am talking piled high with food samples.  They were following their mom who was telling them to take some of all the samples.

Now when they got to the front of the store, she had them each get a glass of the punch, and then told them to go and sit down on the bench in the entryway to the store.  As they did this she picked up a bag of bacon crumbles and headed to the cashier.

She was behind me in line and I couldn’t even turn around and look at her becuase I knew I would end up saying something.  So I paid for my items and headed out of the store.  As I walked past the 3 boys I just couldn’t help myself, so I asked them “Does Mommy take you to Gordon Food for lunch often?”   With their faces being stuffed all three boys shook their heads yes with smiles.  I said not another word and left the store.

Now, don’t think this woman was poor and just trying to feed her kids.  She was driving a very large, shiny new SUV, and all the boys had brand name shoes on and were all dressed very nicely. They were clean looking kids too.

Why would someone do something like this?  I mean. . I can understand letting your children sample the brownies or something like that, but a whole plate of food each?  And then you only spend $5.00 in the store?  Come on!

Anyway, that is my Rant for now.

Peace Out,   Kittie
