Even though Publix requests that its shoppers not tip, I would like to offer one. Baggers, please pay attention!! I organize my groceries on the conveyor belt in the order of bagging, for your convenience and because of my OCD. I group all of the dry goods; frozen foods and fresh foods go together nicely; household items deserve their own cluster; and finally heavy stuff that really doesn't need to be bagged (kitty litter, for example). Of course, I don't expect my order to survive the scanning process, but if the bagger would catch as the cashier sweeps each item, it's possible to retain some that organization.
Even without my compulsive behavior, I think that common sense would dictate that the loaf of bread should not be placed side by side with the bags of pet food. I would prefer that the sushi I'm having for dinner tonight not be tossed on the bottom, covered by the toilet paper and frozen vegetables. And finally, PLEASE do not bag my fruit with the household cleaners!
Of course, because Murphy's Law is the guiding force in my life, the bagger assisting me today apparently had no sense because my groceries were haphazardly tossed into my reusable grocery bags. My final tip of the day.... if you choose to bag my groceries so carelessly, DO NOT roll your eyes and sigh heavily as I rearrange everything with you standing right there. Because I WILL say something to you. Especially at the end of this very long week... And be very glad I didn't share my displeasure with your manager...

I Blame Tropicana...
Or is it Florida's Natural? You know those OJ commercials where everyone is sitting around the table, detailing what they're going to do to make the week difficult, and how drinking OJ is going to make it easier. Well, maybe I should've stocked up. This week has really tried my patience. And patience is NOT one of my virtues. Every single day someone has done their best to annoy me to the point of screaming. And every day, I've become a raving lunatic before lunch. Tuesday's annoyance decided to resurface first thing this morning, so I've gone off the deep end before I finished my first cup of coffee. Deep breath, happy thoughts, wine tonight....
