Supermarket Selfishness

For all of you who have ever been in a supermarket or convince store, I thought I would share a couple of observations that I have made on many occasions. I am talking about the people who decide they do not want their four dollar per pound prime rib and put in on a shelf in the feminine hygiene isle, or the cookies that little kids slip in the cart when their parents are not looking. All of these items have a place and I am sure its location is not tucked away behind a fragranced douche. They have carts placed beside the check out counter, for items such as these. You let the cashier know that you will not be purchasing these said items, as you hand them over they smile politely, and place them in the basket. How lazy can people be I ask myself repeatedly?

Another thing that bothers me when I am shopping is the items that fall off the shelf and are lying about like garbage. Now I can understand if the person who knocked it off the shelf to begin with truly did not notice it at the time, but nine times out of ten, if they do notice it they do not bother to pick it up. For all of you passerby's that step over these items, you should step out of your skin and take a good look at yourselves. How difficult is it to bend at the waste and pick something up? Unless you are elderly and cannot bend the way you once did, or a child that does not know any better there is no excuse for this sort of behavior. Just do the right thing. I am telling you, the world would be a better place if everyone would work together for no apparent reason. That is one of the problems with the world today, people just do not care. Now why is this, I will never know.

Let me give you a little advice, if you go through life ignoring the little things that may not directly affect your life, just remember there are people out there who can teach you how to become a better citizen and a more compassionate human being. Remember, it is never too late to change. Therefore, the next time you see something out of place and being ruined, pick it up how much time could it possibly take out of your day.
