TWO LOAVES OF BREAD

When I check out at the grocery store, I separate my purchases into two parts – perishables and non-perishables. And I have a good reason for doing this. I live in a three-story, townhouse condominium with the garage in the basement and kitchen on the first floor. So when I bring home 10 –12 bags of groceries, I don’t have to carry all of the bags upstairs to my kitchen at one time.

Immediately on returning home from the grocery store, I carry my perishables up to the kitchen. But I leave the other groceries in the trunk of my car so that I can bring them in the next day. Well, yesterday when I finished putting away the milk, ice cream, and other perishables, I realized my two loaves of bread were missing. Good grief I thought, “I must have placed them with my non-perishable items even though I also put them right into the freezer to stay fresh until I need them.” Oh well, there was no harm done. They would be fine in my car for another day.

But, today when I brought the rest of my groceries upstairs to my kitchen I saw there was NO bread at all. Obviously the young woman who had packed my groceries and placed the bags in the grocery cart left the bag with my bread on the checkout counter. No problem, I looked over my sales receipt and found the two loaves listed. So I called the store and sure enough, they had my bag of two breads plus my dozen eggs.

That was the good news. But the bad news was that now I had the hassle of going back to the store to pick them up. Luckily, they told me that if I call the store when I pull up in front they would bring my groceries out to me.
