You were shopping at an ordinary grocery store, to run an errand. You were given a list of items to get, and it was A LOT. Your budget was decent.

You were walking aisle to aisle. You’ve only had a couple items crossed out, and each item had to be a certain brand, size, variant, etc.

You entered the snack aisle, that had cookies, donuts, crackers, candy, etc. You overheard a shopper talking to an elderly woman. She kept on saying, “Pecan! Pecan!”

“Oh, you want the pecan cookies?”

He told the elderly woman. “That’s not the right one!” She exclaimed.

“Well, you should try them sometime!”

The shopper said politely. He grabbed another box of cookies, but the elderly woman disappeared.

You went to grab a milk carton, and the same shopper was right next to you. He grabbed a carton as well. He whispered to himself.

“Wait… This milk is expired.”

“Hm…”

“EXPIRED.”

He whispered, zoning out for approximately fifty-eight seconds. He wondered what kind of milk it was, as if it had a life of its own. He went back to replace the milk carton with one that wasn’t expired.

“Alright, what’s next… Bread? Alright.”

He looked at you and just grinned, then walked away with his shopping cart.
