I acknowledge that I don’t do the majority of the family grocery shopping, but I was still a little hurt when I bought food for the coming weekend this afternoon and the checkout operator asked me if I was having a party. I fear this was less to do with any festive air about my person, and more the surfeit of prepackaged comestibles and relative dearth of “ingredients” amongst my purchased goods. Did I feel judged? Yes I did. Self checkout for me next time I feel.
