Do You Eat Like a Child?

  Last night when I went through the checkout line at the grocery store the cashier asked me how many kids I had. It was only when I got home that I realized why she asked. I bought two boxes of Cocoa Krispies, two boxes of Apple Jacks, two boxes of Poptarts, two packages of string cheese (I shop by the Noah's Ark method...two of everything), milk, apples, bananas and two containers of apple juice with Disney Princess heads. (The juices were for my nieces, everything else for me). Do other people eat like this or am I going to be the only fat ass on here when I reach retirement age? And question #2) Do you think it's rude for a store clerk to comment on what you're buying? Next time I'll avoid that lady's line because I don't want her commenting on other aspects of my personal life. ("Why are you buying condoms when you know they'll stay in your wallet so long that you'll have to buy new ones when you do get to use them, etc?")

  The cashier usually comments on how healthy all my food is and how much it costs...then says something about the expensive alcohol that's in the shopping cart with all the healthy stuff.

  I don't and can't eat like that. Do it if it works for you!
  
  Once at the check out counter (around Father's Day) the checkout woman made a very inappropriate remark about how adults without child are worthless. ... I kept quiet (I didn't have time for any teaching or getting into an argument) and never returned to her line again.
  
  More recently on a Friday I bought a box of condoms (the only item) and the young female checkout clerk (at the Pharmacy counter of the CVS) pleasantly said "Have a fun weekend." I thanked her, no problem with that!

  I would have told her to tell that to sterile/infertile couples...then reported her to the management.

  Great thread! I do feel a little guilty if I slip in a Cocoa Pebbles-type cereal now and then....which is why I always get the Raisin Bran along with it. I look at it this way, they probably think you're buying it for your kids. So don't be ashamed of your Fruit Loops!

  Secret: There are a lot of grown men who will sit down this evening to a delicious bowl of Fruity Pebbles.

  I buy a lot of ethnic food, so many times cashiers ask about things I'm buying because they've never seen them before. My Korean and Mexican items attract a lot of attention especially

  Mike, we gotta teach you how to like oatmeal and shredded wheat! I am jealous, though, that you get to eat Cocoa Krispies. I can't get near them. Also love chocolate Pop Tarts that taste like brownied to me. Yet another no no.
  
  The checkout clerk was probably bored. Having worked behind a counter in that state, I can tell you that you can be starving for conversation. The remark probably was not malicious.

  I wish I could eat like that! Although last night I did buy some mint chocolate and Tim Tams...
  
  As per clerks, if they comment on what I buy I comment back to them. I once had a kid kind of pause and give a smirk when he scanned a box of condoms, thinking he would embarrass me, so I said "It's going to be a big night tonight". He blushed and scanned everything else lightening fast. Usually the old women clerks like to ask how I find certain products. I don't mind engaging in conversation, they're probably bored shitless.

  I always go to the self serve counter. Faster, easier and no snooping especially when it comes to lube and condoms.
  
  Now, do I eat like a child? For the most part, I eat healthy foods but from time to time, I do buy Lucky Charms, Cocoa Puffs, Apple Jacks, Fruit Loops, Corn Pops and gallons of milk! I looooove cereals!
  
  Here's a question: do you put a lot of milk in your cereal or barely any? I'm the former, my ex the latter.

  I bathe my cereal in milk. It's like a tidal wave has hit the bowl.

  I actually like to let my cereal get soggy in the milk. Then I eat the cereal and then drink the milk. Cocoa Krispies are especially good for this. Also, does anyone else butter Poptarts? I've been told that's a southern thing.

  Why on earth would you need to butter your Pop Tart? Are the different flavors of icing not enough?

  LOL! I just live in Northern Virginia. I grew up in 'real Virginia'. Although I never got the accent.
