Can I just say, I am sure glad there was not a cashier and customer on isle 14 at Wal-Mart tonight!!! Here is the story....
The kids and I went to Wal-Mart this afternoon to get Chloe some Motrin for her fever. We got a few groceries and a few other items, and headed to the check-out in isle 13. I unloaded my cart on the belt thing and then went to the front to start loading my groceries. The cashier rung up my milk and put it on top of the bagging carousel. If you can recall, the bagging carousel is in a triangular shape. Well - the cashier decided that 4 gallons of milk would fit nicely up on top of it.
So, here I am trying to help out and get my milk out of the way and into my cart for more groceries to be loaded. As I grabbed for the milk container, it totally slipped off and went crashing to the floor before I could grab it. And yes, guess what happened!!!! MILK EVERYWHERE!!! I am not even exaggerating!!! It sprayed the entire side and belt thing and cash register of isle 14, went all over the floor, some went on my cashier, and the rest was just pouring out of the milk container in a big puddle!!
I could not believe it! I was SO embarrassed. But then, to make it worse, the cashier is totally laughing at the top of her lungs so everyone and their dog could tune in to what was happening. She then picks up the intercom on her phone and announces - "Clean up in isle 13...(pause)...and...(pause)...bring a mop!
Oh, can I just say.....Wal-Mart is not my favorite place in the world! It was quite funny to see milk sprayed all over the checkout in the next isle. I am SO grateful no one was there because they literally would have been drenched in milk! Could you imagine!! Checking out with a load of groceries, or a baby in your cart, or nicely dressed on your way to an event - and then getting a milk shower!! aauugghh! I felt bad for the janitor that had to clean it up. Luckily, she was quite nice about the whole thing! Poor lady!
As we walked to the back corner of the store to get another gallon of milk (the lady charged me for it and told me to go get another gallon), I was asking Zach if that was totally embarrassing. I could totally tell he was thoroughly embarrassed, but was trying to be nice. He said, "I don't know". I started laughing and told him it was kind of funny and he could tell everyone about the most embarrassing day he had while shopping with his mom! Where is the camera when you need it!
Anybody else have any nice embarrassing stories they want to share?.....
Have a great week!
