Valuable lesson of the Day

Today's lesson is this:

Grocery shopping before 8am is the way to go. You avoid these pitfalls:
lines at the checkout;
children;
crowds in the aisles or at the fruit bins;
children;
running out of the item you came in specifically to buy; and finally
children

The only drawback is that the storekeepers are sometimes re-stocking, but that means your vegetables are fresh, your meat freshly packaged and the cereal boxes are not crushed from the aforementioned children carrying them around the store, whining for mom to buy it, or something else equally not on her shopping list, and then, finally, in a fit of frustration and rage, mom throws the box on the ground and rolls over it with her cart.

Yeah, that happens in the afternoon.

You do have to contend with the elderly.

So what the hell happened with the bat and the rabies shots, for heaven's sakes? I've been waiting patiently for a week now.
