Had a funny incident at the local supermarket today.

[John Schmidt]

We did a little grocery shopping, my wife wanted a few things for a special Father's Day meal for us this evening. Included was a small white cake from the bakery section. It happened to be the last white one available. As we were standing there choosing a bakery made bread, I overheard a couple women remarking there were no white cakes left and seemed upset by it. Then I heard one whisper to the other..."there's one in that cart(ours), just pick it up and walk away before they notice it's gone." I watched them watching us, they didn't realize I could see them in the reflection of the glass case in front of me. Sure enough, they picked it up and hustled down the aisle. Even my wife didn't notice it was gone, but I watched for a chance to retrieve it. A few minutes later in the produce section, they were busily going over some grapes and I just walked up, took the cake right in front of them, and as I walked away thanked them for making my load easier to push. One of them started to cuss like no tomorrow, I asked her if she kissed with that mouth. "Yes, why?"  I then suggested she use it to KMA! They knew darn well why I did it but wisely chose not to take it any further. My wife was off in another aisle with her walker and totally oblivious to the entire scene. 

They all know us in that store, we go in there a couple times a week and my wife has to use a walker to get around. So, she leads with the walker and I follow with the cart. She chooses stuff and I put it in the cart and that's how we do our grocery shopping. She got a little miffed at me once however. We had really loaded up the cart and as we were checking out, at the very end I made the comment....."geez honey, with all that food you'd think we would need toilet paper!"  The little checkout girl turned flaming red, the kid bagging stifled a laugh, my wife looked at the girl and simply said "April Fools Day all over again."

That's funny they would have the nerve to take your cake.
 When I was younger, I worked in a grocery store. There was this brat who kept asking his mother for some Oreos. She kept telling him no,no,no. He started throwing a fit screaming and yelling. She told him if he asked one more time, she was going to whip his ass when they got home. I was sick of hearing this kid, so when they weren't looking, I put 2 packages of Oreos in their cart. I waited patiently for them to get to the check outs so I could see what was going to happen.
  Oh boy did she get pissed. The kid tried to convince her he didn't put them there, but she didn't want to hear it. She let him know what was going to happen when they got home. I can't stand brats to this day.

I can't stand brats to this day.

Hilarious story, it never ceases to amaze me what people think is acceptable behavior these days...

On the brats in the grocery store, great commercial that's more of a PSA:

that would totally piss me off if someone took an item out of my cart into theirs and I saw it.  I'd lay the smackwon ASAP on them and not wait to totally bitch them out yelling at them until they ran away crying like the bitch they are.  Hate to say it, but my dad use to in the grocery store if another person left their cart in the middle of the aisle not putting it to the side taking up the entire aisle and he would push as hard as he could his cart into theirs and send their cart flying down the aisle all the way.  Sort of embarrassing but he had no patience and a quick temper at times, guess I took that side of my dad some also unfortunately.  I don't do that but I do pick up and move the cart of theirs over 1-2 feet to the side so I can get thru sincee most of the time the person owning the cart is not even close to their own cart and 10-15 feet down the aisle.  I have no patience either.

the Wife told me that someone took her whole cart last year in Wally World......glad she keeps her purse with her...

   My wife is one of those that park the cart, then stand beside it, totally blocking the aisle.  
We have plenty of arguments over this.

Oh and on the original post.  I would have definately told everyone in a loud voice - "I can hear you and you better leave things in my basket alone!" Not even turning around. But maybe waving at them in the reflection.

[John Schmidt]

Believe me, there were plenty of people around when I took it out of their cart....and I explained why I did it after those two women started yelling at me. What I failed to mention is, after I recovered the cake and let it be known why, they quit shopping and immediately checked out. Everyone around them was commenting about it to them. And when I said what I did about KMA....one little old guy actually applauded. Had to laugh at that. That's not my usual method of handling things, but with her trash mouth it just seemed to fit the occasion.

What's KMA?

[John Schmidt]

What's KMA?

Awww....c'mon Doug: Kiss My ###     

[Robert]

Thanks John I didnt know either what KMA meant 

[lacon]

I few years ago I was shopping at our local Kroger, looked down at my cart, & noticed some of the items were different from what I had put in there.  I realized I had someone else's cart & started backtracking where I had been.  I think it was like 4 or 5 isles back to where my cart sat all alone.   I switched carts & kept on shopping.   Never knew whose cart I had, although it was probably better that way.   Fortunately no purse in it.

Hey John, I thought that KMA meant Keep Me Advised

Well it was real evident to me what John was talking about given the context in which he said it.

I addition to retrieving your little cake, you should have added a case of condoms to their cart (or a 40lb turkey).

Hey Jess, I did something like that once....to one of my daughters. I saw the kid that was bagging happened to be a school chum of hers, and the girls(I had four) were ALWAYS waiting until the last minute to buy their "monthly" supplies. So, this day...when she wasn't watching I laid a huge box of "supplies" on the counter and stood back and waited. Neither she or her mother noticed them until the checkout girl picked up the box off the moving belt, then both had something to say. The kid just busted out laughing, my wife was fuming and my daughter just stomped out of the store....mad as a wet hen. Needless to say, that was the last time any of the girls waited until the last minute. Moral of the story....don't mess with dad, you'll lose. 

One of the girls had a boyfriend that always brought his car over and they would wash/polish it together. Real cute...on my dime. One day he asked her if she had any good rags to use for polishing, so I handed him a couple of the pads from the girls supply box. Told him they worked great for polishing/waxing a car, after trying them he agreed. About ten minutes later, my daughter noticed what he was using, asked where he got them and he pointed to me. Different daughter, same reaction....stomped into the house, mad at dad. Next time I asked for the car to be washed and cleaned, there was no hesitation. I let all three older girls use it freely, just keep it clean and the gas isn't free.

I got it considering the story otherwise I cannot see it

[John Schmidt]

I know sometimes my jokes and stories are bad enough in their own right. But when I have to explain them as well, it only gets worse. 

So...moving on. 

[HayHauler]

Thank for the story John.

oh, i don't know about that. sometime having to explain is funnier than the joke.

especially with my wife.

Thats wonderful. I had an incedent with a crazy lady in the store. I forget what she did but I remember it involved my daughter who was 6/7 at the time. I would walk down the aisle and when she wasnt looking I'd put something small in her cart. We stood back and she just paid and left. We still laugh about that. I love shopping.
