Grocery Shopping

I was doing some grocery shopping last night at my neighbourhood’s NTUC. There was a long queue at the checkout counters, and though the poor girls at the counters worked as quickly as they could, I had to wait for around 5 minutes or so.

That is when I observed you can tell quite a fair bit about a person by looking at what he or she has in his or her grocery basket.

Lady with sanitary pads? Her period is coming.

Young married couple with cup noodles and potato chips? Work long hours and have no time to cook.

Plump lady with boxes of chocolates? Has a sweet tooth and probably explained her weight.

Young guy with a few cartons of beer? Probably preparing for some Christmas or New Year party.

All these observations make the long queuing time bearable.
