Bellringer Blues
The past two days, I have tried twice to deposit some change in the Salvation Army Bellringer's bucket. Twice. And the attempt has been futile both times.
Both times I walked up to the store, said hello to the bellringer, and said that I'd be right out with some money for them. Both times I did my shopping and left clutching a few dollars in my little fist. Both times I came out of the exit, only to find the bellringers having finished their shift. The only evidence they were there was a sign that said Support the Salvation Army. And I was only in the store for five minutes each time!!
So I'm two for two. Do you think it's a sign that maybe I'm not supposed to be giving to charity??
In other randomness, my local Kroger (not to be confused with the experiences from my former Kroger) is remodeling. While I appreciate the future upgrades, the employees do need some guidance in proper store arrangement. Tonight the PastaRoni was right next to the Summer's Eve feminine deodorant spray (link intentionally omitted--you can find it yourself!). Now really...who wants to shop for side dishes and personal cleansing products in such close proximity??

Pasta Roni next to Summer's Eve?
I guess people who eat pasta deserve to be fresh as well.

I've had very similar experiences like this. I always seem to be around when they are on break. I finally chased one down.
