Does the groceries on a sunday at my local woolies. no homebrand there.
Welcome to Woolies Toorak on this glorious Friday morning, as we witness the long awaited arrival of Gerard on his weekly shop , and he scores early with a beautiful park between the big sticks in the car park.
He makes his way to the trolley bay , oh no there are only two left , and Royston and Lillian are closing in fast.
Lillian bustles Gerard aside and grabs one trolley and it looks like Gerard has the last one and it’s got a wonky wheel, Royston looks like he’ll have to settle for the basket.
He makes his way into the store , the deli has a large pack already there , and they call out the next number to be served it’s 44 , he looks at his number it 89 , is it time to pull out the spare roll of deli ticket numbers from his pocket ? , oh he does he goes for 51 , and 51 is called out from behind the counter , bingo Gerard yells out drowning out the other holder of the 51 number , a masterful tactical advantage has saved Gerard at least 20 minutes.
On to the fresh produce plenty of apples for Black Caviar and oranges , bananas and grapes for the kids lunches , special buys and 3 for 1s taken full advantage of.
The rest of the shop goes on rather uneventfully until we reach the checkout , and checkout chick Lisa finishes the transaction of Gerards shopping he goes to reach for his wallet , which card will he use , the American Express gold card , The Sen all expenses paid for card ? the suspense ..... , oh no he’s left his wallet at home this is unbelievable time freezes what will he do now ........ ,he won’t , he can’t , he shouldn’t ..... will heeeee ........ oh he does.
He gone for it and pulled it out the “Don’t you know who I am” card , Gerard exclaimed in exasperated defeat
The whole shop goes silent , this will undoubtedly become one of those “where we’re you when” moments
