I was shopping at Trader Joe’s last night. I just got back from the gym, I was wearing sweats, t-shirt and a sweatshirt with my hair pulled back in a ponytail, no make up and clearly Sami- sweaty from my work out.  I was praying that I wouldn’t run into anyone since I was not looking my best. It was so late that I just wanted to run in and get some fruit and veggies for the week. Anyway, I’m at the register waiting in line to check out, and there was a couple in front of me getting ready to pay their over $100 bill. If you have shopped at Trader’s Joes before you know it’s not that easy to spend that much unless you’re stocking up for a month or feeding a family of 8. Well when it was my turn, I said to the cashier, “What did they buy.. the whole store?” He laughed as the bagger next to the cashier was placing my groceries into the brown paper bag. The bagger then said that they couple bought a lot of expensive wine. I chuckled again because from what I know the wine at TJ is inexpensive, the bagger reassured me that TJ has an expensive Chardne and that if I never tried it, I should since it is really good. He even offered to go grab me a bottle and I just wanted to get out of the store. When I declined he offered that he will get it for me next time I come in and I politely said that’s ok but thank you.

When I was pulling out of my parking spot I noticed someone running towards me, it was the guy that bagged my groceries. He came by the passenger window, I opened it to see what he wanted, maybe I forgot something in the store and he reached in and gave me the bottle of wine in a small brown bag and said, “please try it, its on me.” Is he serious? I was shocked. I must admit that was a pretty good move.
