Do I Look... Like a Condom Expert...? 🤔

    There was a Price Rite near me that had TVs sold by the cash registers. But that is the only place I have seen TVs in a grocery store besides the Walmart and Kmart as someone said. As to a conversation about condoms...nope none with random strangers. I do have a funny story about them though. I was shopping at a Walgreens with my brother when I saw some packages of condoms on clearance. The price was so good I bought two packages. That was 4 years ago. Ha! My brother was like eeewww I can't believe you bought those when you were with me. But he did commend my safe practices. Wouldn't you know it I still have one whole box left. My partners usually bring their preferred kind with them. LOL Thank you for your thought provoking post Paul.
No worries. That's what I'm here for...
Your story is a funny one, for sure! 😘
By the way.. just saying, but did you know that condoms have an expiration date?
Just a safety tip for you.
But I'm sure you knew that, right? omg... 😱
TV's by the cash? omg 😰 Was anyone buying them...? lol 😁

    Worst mistake I ever made was buying a computer at Walmart. They sell their customer lists and I was harassed for months.
    Conversations with random people usually happen in the grocery store cashier line-ups. Men are particularly friendly, often to the chagrin of their wives. Next time I pass a condom display, I will think of you and perhaps linger to see if it sparks any conversations.
Oooo.. I missed this the first time I read this... lol 😁
Lingering at the condom station? Lol 😘
Yep. 😊

Yes... She was lucky. lol... We'd have a blast buying them... and looking at all the toys they had.
It's a lot of fun to flirt around with a total stranger like that. There's a nervous energy that I can't really describe, but it's as if both people, are testing the waters.
A lot of fun. Have you ever randomly teased or been teased with words, by a total stranger? You'd be good at it! omg... lol 😁😘😱

Puh-leez ... 😁
Just give me a list of what you need... it'll be waiting here for you... 😉
Or better yet... we'd go shopping for all the stuff you need. Shopping is fun. I'd take you to my stupid store... lol... Actually.. we'd find a better one. Yeah.. Half the fun would be to shop around, no? I don't have a mixer... lol You'd have to hand mix. 😱
Well.. that's the way my grandmother used to do it. I'd help... 🍞🍞🍞🍞 We'd have soooooo much bread, we'd open up a store... lol 😁
Do you do French bread? lol... 🍞😊

Really? Wow....! 😱
I gotta get me one of those... then I gotta watch a You Tube video to learn how to use it.
I have real yeast sitting in my fridge, from back in the days that I used to make pizza from scratch. It says it'll never expire... as long as I keep it chilled.
Ya know... I'd see those things at cooking stores and I had no clue what they were for...
Hmmm.. You're giving me ideas....
I used to think that the answer was one of those bread machines, but I barely have the space for it.

Last time I talked with a woman in a retail store... it was over a comment I made to her. I don't remember the exact words, but it was close to this-- "Ya know, I don't want to be too forward, but it's not often you can view a woman wearing a dress these days." She was wearing a dress, and a rather nice one, at that. She told me to... "Fuck-off, ya damned geezer".

I didn't take it to heart bein's how I am pretty well old as freakin' dirt!

I did fuck-off--though obviously not with her. I sure didn't need any condoms for that encounter.

BTW: Ya know what they say about condoms-- "Don't get sick... cap yer dick."

Solar...

I'm sorry to hear that the encounter you had veered off to the left, like that. Better luck next time... Yep... S couple of "Fuck off's" , won't deter you.
Go for it! Law of averages, right? You're bound to have more luck on the next strike! 👍
Yeah.. Condoms... go figure. 🤔
There ya go. Hang around the condom rack and see if your luck with the women improves.
It's just a thought... 🤔

I worked retail. Our store in the beginning sold unusual things-bed linen ( not next to the condoms, think Queen sheet sets 800 thread count for $29.99!!)) food items you rarely saw elsewhere ( think German mustards), seasonal clothing and they eradicated most of the toy section and put in a Harmon's section (health and beauty- a division of Bed Bath & Beyond). Well the back wall had an huge selection of condoms!!! Folks were always stopping to get us to take their photo- they were highly amused that Christmas Tree Shops sold "personal things".

Just imagine all the fun conversations!!! At Christmas time we snuck a sign attached to the shelf at eye level " Makes Great Stocking Stuffers"
That was doubly funny because the items for sale get stuffed at some point

Ok... 🆗 That's a funny picture. 😂
Hmmm.. interesting story.. especially when you mention taking their pics near the display...
These days, stores sell a mix of just about anything and everything.
That TV was listed at an alluring price. 📺
I've been in similar stores over here. You're right! They sell everything in there. Although I never did see condoms. Perhaps I didn't look hard enough. hmmm.. 🤔😁
Sounds like you had a lot of fun in that store! 👍☺️
How' d you find that pic? 😘

Paul...

I used to work in retail, just like that Gato-Babe. Though I ran the Ace Hardware section, I did have to handle all the HABA-Daba (health and beauty aids), too. The reason we kept the condoms behind the registers--the kids would grab 'em off the aisle-shelves or racks and use them as water balloons.

At least they weren't gatherin' dust,. eh?

Well... yeah... That's a really good safety tip.... for anyone working in retail. 👍
Yep.. I used to use them, as ballons too - when I was 10 or 11...
Then I figured... if you blew them up with air, they'd make great kites. Yep.... 👍
Kids.. what do they know....?

Great post! I always try to have a steady relationship, so I won't have to use Condoms.

I have had random conversations in the store with people...but never regarding condoms, lol.

I've bought electronics at stores that sell all sorts of things including groceries...but I don't think they count as grocery stores.

Yeah.. random is good...
I can see TVZs at Walmart or Costco... My store is mostly groceries... if you know what I mean..
If they were brand names I recognized.. lol 🤔😁
Yeah.. that condom aisle.. I'd talk to you if we were to meet at that rack. 😘
