Stranded At The Store

Last night my dad came home and told us someone had baked him muffins, but he left them at work.  My sister was quite disappointed because she loves muffins.  My dad said he’d go back and get them because he had to go to the store I work at anyway to buy soda.

My sister, brother, and I decided to go with him just for the heck of it.  It was 10:30 at night.  We get to the store and I carry in a box of cans and bottles to redeem, only to discover that every single one of the bottle/can return machines is broken.  I’ve never seen that happen before.  Since it was 10:30, the service desk was closed so we couldn’t return them there either.  So I just carried them around the store.

After we finish getting all the stuff we need, we’re standing in line at the registers and my dad’s cell phone rings.  He answers it and then tells us that it was a call from work and he had to leave quickly so he could go to work and call whomever it was back.  I’m really not sure why he couldn’t have just talked to the person while in the store.

We paid for the soda and then I go to check my hours for next week really quick.  I finish that and went to meet everyone at the front of the store.  As it turned out, my brother had gone to the bathroom.  My dad was in a real rush to get to work, so he told us he was going to have to leave us at the store and pick us up because he couldn’t wait for my brother.

Thus, we were stranded in the store for about a half an hour.  It was pretty funny.  We just wandered around and looked at stuff.  My bro found a whole bunch of stuff in the organic section that isn’t really good for the environment.  Then we found the Jewish food section and there is a very large variety of matzoh.  Next to the matzoh was the stuff called ‘Bible Bread’.  I have no idea what it was or what made it ‘Bible Bread’, but my brother took a picture of it and it’s now the background on his phone.

Eventually my dad came back and told us that he couldn’t even get into his office because the doors were locked due to construction or something.  So he sat in his car in the parking lot of his office and made the call there.  He could have done that at the store.

After we got out to the car, we decided to go buy donuts.  So we walked back into the store and bought donuts.  We went through the same guy’s line, too.  I’m pretty sure he thought we were a little crazy.
