True story, happened this evening in the grocery store:
Store clerk: “I need to see your Drivers License”
Me: “Is that some new requirement?”
Store clerk: looks at me with a quizzical expression
Me: “Why do you need to see my drivers license?”
Store Clerk: holds up my bottle of olive oil
Me: “So….identification is now needed to buy a bottle of olive oil?!”
Store clerk: looks at the bottle and stammers “ I thought it was wine”
Me: “Well that’s a relief. I thought my conspiracy theory was being proved.”
We both chuckled and I was allowed to leave with my bottle of Colavita.
