Drugstore conversation.



A local drugstore chain has tried to class itself up and expand into foodstuffs, including portable consumables, some of which are on the level of gas station sandwiches.

Like a month ago two townie women were behind me in the checkout line at the pharmacy in my neighborhood, this kind of know-it-all (middle-aged) (white) woman of the type to have an attitude about everything, and this kind of shrivelled up old (white) woman with a slight gray beehive who was old enough to be the first woman's mother.

“Look at that pineapple,” the middle-aged woman was like, pointing to a plastic box of cut-up pineapple in a small cooler of ready-to-eat foodstuffs by the counter leading up to the register.  “You could get two whole pineapples over at [grocery store across the street] for what you’d pay for that.”

Then, after a pause, she was like, “And I don’t trust that sushi either.”
