Eventful trip to Aldi today

Tweet

I had a list so long I was thinking it would take forever to round everything up. I went to Target first, as there were 2 prescriptions there for me, and I also bought a few cleaning items on sale there. For some reason, Target was just swamped today--it was like Christmas, huge long lines. But they actually had every single checkout staffed with a checker, so it went very quickly. Up next, a big, big grocery run at Aldi. Not far from that particular Target, and not far from the exit I take to get home. I trotted through with my lengthy list and rounded up pretty much everything I needed that was on the list. The only think I bought that wasn't on the list was fresh broccoli (on sale!) and 4 avocados, as they were .25 each, which is a steal. However, that was pretty much the only bargains to be had today on food. Typical big Aldi run, take the insulated bags in with me, and then after paying I got it all sacked up and I was out the door to load the car. Next to my car, there is a big SUV, and a nice looking young man was loading items in the back. His wife, or whoever she was, was screeching at him as she didn't like the choices he made for this, that, and whatever. She grabbed this HUGE package of toilet tissue and said, ''take this back inside and get a refund! I'm not wiping the kids a***s with that stuff.'' (It honestly wasn't a bad brand, she said she had to have Charmin Ultra Soft!) He got some gumption and said, you want it returned, YOU take it in and do it, I'm done!...oh...she refused and got back in the car. He came over to me, and said he was sorry I had to listen to that tirade--and presented me with that huge package of TP. He wouldn't take no for an answer, and he even unloaded the rest of my groceries in to my car. He sent his son to return the carts, handed me a quarter (@porwest will be so jealous!) and told me to have a nice day. So nice of him to try to turn a bad scene into a good thing. He was very sweet, and I got free TP--24 rolls! Yay!
