my car is now a salad bar
last night i bought a super size salad from the grocery store - a $7 salad that lasts me three lunches is certainly a beautiful thing when you're on a budget and don't have time to wash, cut, grate, fuss.. i bought a garden salad with nuts, fancy i know.
this morning when i opened the salad to split it, i saw it had bacon bits in it. uh.. what? garden salads don't typically have bacon bits. and if they did, it would certainly be written on the label. so i checked the label in case i had suddenly become dyslexic: "contains nuts". grr.. i know meat won't kill people like nuts could, but bacon bits aren't standard for salads unless it's a ceasar, so a little note saying "contains nuts. contains bacon." would have been helpful.
luckily i bought it at the 24 hour grocery store that's on my way to work, so i stopped in this morning in hopes they would exchange it. i walk up to the customer service desk.. it didn't open for another hour. ugh. since i only wanted to exchange the salad, the girl at the cash said it wouldn't be an issue. the only thing that really bothered me was that she said to just put the salad i bought back in the salad section.. not that i did anything to it, but she doesn't know that. i may look normal (shush), but i could very well be a psycho (double shush).
happy as pie, i took another salad with cheese and nuts, no bacon or other meat products in sight. i put it on the passenger seat in my car and off i went to work. as i was making a left turn, a reasonably slow left turn, my salad slid off the seat and burst open onto the floor. NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! boo. i was NOT happy. not only did i just see my lunch go to waste, but my car now smelt like a salad bar. i guess the smell isn't so bad.. as long as it doesn't smell like it's rotting (yes i did clean it out when i got to work).
at least the rest of my day went well.. i got a good price for some custom display stands and a demo i was videotaping didn't explode. woo.
