In Publix one day, Norma and I were shopping in produce using a single buggy, and she asked me if I would go over and pick out a good cantaloupe. Even though I knew nothing about selecting cantaloupes, I faced a bin
of stacked melons that all looked
the same to me. I asked a nearby produce man with an apron if he knew how to pick a good cantaloupe and he instructed me to pick up two melons. “Now, which is the heaviest?” he asked. “The right one,” I replied. “Now, put down the lightest and pick up another.” After several tries, I had the heaviest cantaloupe in the bin, and he congratulated me on selecting the best cantaloupe. I explained
to the man that this was really
good information to have because I suspected most women don’t know how to pick a cantaloupe. “Now I will come in every day and hang around the cantaloupes until some lady asks me how to pick one–good way to pick up a nice lady,” I told the produce man. We both laughed, and I returned the prize cantaloupe to Norma who was now two aisles over. Later, in frozen foods, Norma and I approached the man in the apron and he and I winked at each other as we passed without speaking.
I hope this report on grocery shopping is helpful to you. Next time you go to the market, if you have problems, look for me around the cheese counter or the olive bar.
