CVS Sucks, But Grandma and Taco Bell Make It All Better

I went to CVS under the premise that they would have their sale items in stock. What a joke. They had almost nothing on my list. I was so angry that I actually left my items at the checkout. Who's the guy in charge of inventory? You'd think they'd say to themselves, "Well, since we put item X on sale this week, we had better order more." Because that would make sense. Rather than every single time I go to pick up something that's on sale, it's not there. Losers.

So I decided to give this mom-and-pop ice cream place called "Grandma's Ice Cream Shop" a try since I was denied the new Oreo Cakesters that were on sale at CVS. (Slap a 'new' sticker on it, and I'm there. This was a double whammy though since I will do almost anything for Oreos.) So I walk in and first of all, they boast 24 and more flavors of soft serve. Just like Lake George! I was so excited. But I knew soft serve wouldn't make it home well and wouldn't travel well since I had also planned on hitting Taco Bell. I amble up to the counter and they actually had a bakery-type display case. And lo and behold they had treats - a dollop of soft serve on top of an oreo or a tiny brownie and then dipped in that Brown Bonnet stuff. I was elated! I ordered one of each and plan on laughing out loud at CVS when I eat them.

Then off to Taco Bell. Say what you want about it, but I like it and it makes me happy. So I order my food and pull up to the window. The pleasant guy at the window takes my money and then says, "Did you have a good day? You look very happy." I said, "Not particularly, but I did just get ice cream!" He responds with a smile, "Well now you have some Taco Bell too!" That just made my afternoon.
