It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World

So I'm convinced now that the world has gone crazy. Totally off the freakin' deep end. First, there was the issue of half gallons of ice cream being only 1.75 quarts. And yeah, I gotta tell you, I still think it's dumb that if you have real live cash money in your hand, you can not rent a car. I mean, hey, the damn bills say "Legal tender for all debts, public and private." But as of today, I've seen it all, my friends. And I don't like it. Not one bit.

Today after work, I hit the grocery store. The plan was to buy the fixin's for lobster rolls. Well, I'm sure I don't need to tell you that in order to make lobster rolls, one needs lobster. Anyway, I'm strolling thru my local Super Stop & Shop, getting my scallions, my lemons, my herbs...and I head towards the deli to buy the lobster. I paced around for a few minutes...muttering to myself...wondering aloud where the hell the lobster tank had gone. I finally asked an employee and was told...no word of a lie now.... "We don't carry fresh seafood any more."

HUH?! This is New England, for crying out loud...what do you MEAN you don't carry fresh seafood?!?!?!?!? I was in shock, but I calmly walked around and put my groceries back. Then I drove to Shaw's Supermarket and bought my lobster. It was farm raised, but it's still Maine lobster.

Naturally, after I came home and put the lobster on to cook, I emailed Stop & Shop. Asked them who the rocket scientist was that came up with that bright idea. And I made a point of telling them I will be more than happy to spend my family's grocery budget at Shaw's, instead...if that's what they want. :)

No, it's not PMS. I'm just a bitch. :)
