Week #4: Make life easier for the hard working people

With as hectic as my schedule is (and of course my lack of money!), I haven't been able to get out and do much shopping. I did take one trip to the grocery store and that's where I found my McPIFP.

I went through several aisles just to browse, because I feel so happy in a grocery store and enjoy the hustle and bustle, so I thought I'd take my time. I was looking for a card at one point and because I actually used to work in a card store waaaaay back in the day, I already remembered to be courteous to the associate who has to straighten cards.

So that wasn't much of a challenge, but then I went down the "hair product" aisle. <DUN DUN DUN>...... As weird as it is, this aisle turned out to be my biggest weakness out of every other aisle in the whole grocery store (even the baking supply aisle!)!!! I don't know what it is, but I always have to buy something in the hair product aisle!

So I'm looking through all the product and trying to find a good conditioner since the one I normally get was out, and each time I picked a bottle up, I would have to remind myself to put it back in the right slot!! Isn't that awful??? I was so ashamed of myself and didn't realize how many times I set the wrong bottle/hair spray can in the wrong slot!! It may seem like something small, but there's an associate that has to come by and straighten all those up... and since it was my goal to help out the hard working people, I was a lot more self-aware of my careless setting-a-bottle-down-anywhere-syndrome. And I will make sure that I continue to do so. =)

it is funny that you put this in as one of your weekly goals. as someone that used to work retail forever, i cant help but straighten an aisle as i stand there. if i go shopping with someone and am standing around while they look for something, i unconsciously put things back in place and "face" them how they are supposed to be.

that said, i think it is a great thing for you to have put in here. i know that the people you help (we) help doing this kind of thing really appreciate it (even if they dont know you did it).
