I didn't hear, "Look out! It's must be in the water!," followed, of course, by snickers from various people that could overhear the obnoxiously loud person or "You look like you are about ready to pop!" which the people that work or shop at Walmart feel like is not only kind to say to a pregnant person but appropriate conversation to have with a complete stranger.
In fact now that I think about it, the ONLY place I have had a stranger put their hand on my belly was at Walmart! And when I asked the lady to remove her hand from my belly she actually had the nerve to act like the one offended. Freaking Walmart!
If only I had tons of money to spend on food, all my shopping trips for the next 3+ weeks would be at Fred Meyer.
But since that isn't reality I will just have to endure.
Perhaps I should just make a game of it and see if anyone will top the

Oh, wow, some people have no class! I had no idea pregnant women went through this and it doesn't make me look forward to the time when I'll have to put up with it! I can't believe Baby Kinsley will be here next month, I'm so excited for you guys and to meet her!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Fred Meyer. I used to always shop at WinCo because they are so much cheaper until their produce went downhill. I started going to Fred Meyer because they were close for all of my produce. The more I shopped there they more I loved it. Not only do they give out free cookies to kids (incentive to get Benton to go to the store with me) they also have Playland. Benton can play there for an hour while I shop, it is glorious. I still go to WinCo once a month or so to buy non perishable cheaper.
ReplyDeleteAnd here is my Walmart story, it is good. When Emmett was about a month old we went out to Walmart. We were only picking up a few things and wanted to get out of there so we picked the express lane. We got the slowest lady around. As she begins scanning our items she asks me how old my children are. That's normal, but what followed wasn't. She then said, "I just lost mine." She proceeded to tell me that she miscarried at 6 weeks and because she didn't know if it was a boy or a girl she named him/her Jordan. She was also going to get the name tattooed on her shoulder. The whole thing was awkward, what did she want me to say? I felt bad but a checker shouldn't share things like that, especially in the express lane!
That's horrible and sad. I kind of have a theory that the Express lane really isn't faster, they just put the slow pokes there because they can't handle more than 20 items...seriously. :)
