Price Check
We all know that when we're standing in line at the store, sometimes our eyes have a tendency to wander and sometimes they might find themselves taking inventory of the purchases belonging to the person in front of you...strictly out of curiosity mind you. Well, it just so happens that the woman in front of me happened to be purchasing KY.
Now, there is just something unnerving about seeing a woman your mother's age purchasing a personal lubricant. I think simply because it brings to mind events which you would rather not imagine your mother participating in. Definite ick factor.
At any rate. As the cashier ran the KY across the scanner...there was a loud, unnatural BONK noise. He scanned it again...BONK...and again...BONK. At this point the woman had begun to appear noticibly uncomfortable and began shifting her weight from foot to foot and glancing back at those of us behind her. I, of course dutifully averted my eyes and pretended that I was paying no attention whatsoever to her little crisis.
Then it happened...the idiot cashier held the box up, clearily displaying the oversized KY logo and said, "Do you know how much the KY was?"

He he - I swear I am above embarassment because that sort of thing never bothers me. I can totally picture this happening to me when I'm 60 and I'll look at the person behind me who's snickering and say "Oh yeah, you're just jealous that I'm getting more action than you." Or, at least I hope I'll be that cool in 2037.
that usually happens to me when i go to the "Bulk Barn" (discount bulk grocers in Canada) and buy my prunes.
I can't help it. I like prunes.
The mention of KY jelly always makes me think of 'The Village People'. Just one of those things. :-)
Fun post!
Happy week ahead.
never had that problem, but then i've never been buying KY jelly...
Those bonks only happen to items like that and when the line is full.
We should all be so lucky as to needing a lubricant afetr age 40.
That's hilarious. I remember an older woman infront of me at the drugstore once, she had condoms, lube and some type of migraine pills haha.
I thought that kind of thing only existed in comics and sitcoms!!
Poor lady!
It's almost as bad as purchasing tampons and your (my) 4 year old son keeps asking me what these are for... Sometimes ordering online can be a real blessing.
However much it cost, it definitely was not worth that. But hey, better her than you...or me.
Yep, that's definitely worse than when the pre-pubescent teen at Old Navy held up my thong and yelled "NO THE LACY ONES!"
I turned around and waved to the crowd, paid for my panties, and RAN to the car.
I thought K-Y is hopelessly outdated... somebody should have informed her :-D
Oh my.
I feel embarassed for her.
Oh my god! That is really BAD. They should know better than to do that to customers. SHEESH!
This actually happened to me in college when I worked for CVS. I had to do the price check scan and then announce over the intercom.."Ummm...price check on KY (bwah hawhahwahw!)
Needless to say I was scheduled far less regularly after that.
I've had the same thing happen when buying a special purchase box of 16 boxes of condoms.....
So... how much was the KY jelly?
Yeah, we all know how babies are made, but we just don't want to think our parents did it.
As you say, "definite ick factor"
that is too funny...lol..gosh, I hate when those clerks do shit like that knowing dang well thats embaraskin...lol...but sure funny as hell for bloggs!
That poor woman!
Oh. My. God.
That's so horrible. Poor lady!
I'd be like, "$2.49 - don't judge me!"
This story was so much better hearing you tell it. LOL!!
Tell him it was free. How can he argue?
That makes me cringe. Yikes!
