By the way, do you like the windows? Because they didn't survive last Saturday morning.
Okay, a little backstory. Because the store is so large, I haven't been shopping there since my recent knee surgery. I have been opting for the smaller and more chic Bristol Farms which also offers better meats and baked goods. Also the clientele there is a bit more upscale.
But my regular drug prescriptions at Ralph's and I was running out. I figured what harm could come from picking them up and doing some grocery shopping at the same time.
What harm indeed?
I was on the checkout line and heard some screaming by the main address. One large smash. Then a second. Then a third.
Yep, some homeless nut had gone bonkers and took his venom out on anything made of glass. But Ralph's Security stepped in to subdue him.
With a healthy dose of pepper spray. Which also impacted anybody standing on a checkout line. I quickly covered my nose and mouth with my t-shirt. Folks around me started to gag, sneeze, and dry heave. My bagger couldn't work fast enough. And I was startled by her comment.
"This happens here at least once a week."
Yikes.
Welp, the cops came and took the jerk away but, have no fear, he'll probably be out in time for an early dinner at In N Out Burger.
As for me, I would prefer not to relive Chicago 1968 when I do my grocery shopping. I will be joining the snooty elite at Bristol Farms.
Dinner last night: Grilled beef sausage.
