mobbed on over to my east side fred meyer today.
chilled there for a bit and booted up to blimpies.
finally payed off my 6 month old tab and got some grub.
made my way back to freds, and the weirdest thing...
i beeped at the security things when i went in.
confused, i thought i had stepped on one of those hardtags.
but no. so i just walk on in.
all the old people waiting for their prescriptions were kinda staring and laughing at me.
wander around the store again, til i get bored.
i go back to the doors and beep again!
so im thinkin.
what was different now than when i came in the first time......
oh yes! i grabbed some dorritos back at blimps.
so i pulled those out and waved them infront of the security gates.
and sho' nuff the fucker went off.
now. this is very odd, cuz only the items with the small white strip by the barcode, or those fatty grey tags they put on clothes should make those things beep.
did they somehow switch it now somehow to anything that has a barcode?
or was it somehow just the mylar or whatever of the bag of chips....
interesting.
whats also funny, is that no employee pays attention to the loud fucking beep, cuz it goes off so much.
the only people that notice are the people that are coming and going when it goes off.
theyre like fucking deer in headlights.
poor bastards.
