Maybe this one is specific to the west coast or to SoCal, but I’ve noticed an alarming trend. About 60-70% of the grocery stores I go into have one (and only one) checkout clerk who reminds me of Dan Aykroyd in mannerism if not in physicality. They usually are good at the quick smile and shallow witticism, but you can tell they’ve told a joke or two in their time. Is this the fallback career for the Laugh Factory contestants? I’m not sure, but I figured it was as poignant a scientific assertion as any. And like a good theory, I get to name it.
I’m going to call it the TGIF theory for Think Grocer Is Friday. Of course the real reason I’m doing this is there is a definitive lack of good google links from the words ‘grocer’ and ‘friday’, so I figured if there’s anything I can trump it’s this. Hey at least this post won’t serve to increase our google index on “but I poop from there“. Or will it?
