the veggie cake

i just returned from the store.
i must say that i spent the entire ride home
planning this blog.

so i was doing my normal thing
you know, roaming the aisles, looking dumb, etc.
i get everything i need and i'm on the last aisle,
which at target, is the frozen pizza and ice cream aisle.
now since i've had this allergy to corn,
i've discovered that i can only have one brand of pizza.
red baron. no delivery, no other frozen pizzas, only red baron.
so of course i grabbed a red baron pizza for later this week
and went on my way.

i reach the end of the aisle and there's a nice old man
passing out samples.
he asks me if i would like to try a "veggie cake".
well i looked at the box
and aside from the fact that they looked completely disgusting,
i noticed that there was not only corn on the inside,
but it appeared that the outside crust of said "veggie cake"
most likely contained a large amount of corn starch.
so i said "oh i'm sorry, i don't think i can have those...
it looks like i might be allergic to something in there"
he said "OH, but you can have that pizza pie??"

first of all, no one has called it a "pizza pie" since 1932.
second of all, IT'S THE ONLY ONE I CAN HAVE!
my response was "yes, it's the only kind i can have"
and then i walked away.

thank you, old man, for being a jerk.
maybe you should think before you try to give me advice on my eating habits.
and maybe you should stop trying to sell nasty "veggie cakes".
i'm now going to enjoy my pizza.
the only kind i can have!!!!!

What the hell? Since when do people who are working at the grocery store get to criticize your purchases?
