Is it wrong that my kids and I did this at the store today?

[Fawke Em]

(I hope the staff isn't too overworked to move it back and gets a good laugh out of it)

1. Well played!

[Fawke Em]

3. Here's the story.

We were going down the book and stationary aisle to look for a wall calendar. I wasn't looking and my son threw this in the buggy and started snickering (he hates Trump), so when I saw what he'd done, I said, "Let's go put this where it really belongs." I walked them a couple of aisles over and put it up there.

Downside: I had to explain to my 8-year-old daughter what a douche was. She rolled her eyes and made gagging faces. Meh. She has the equipment that it's used on, so she understood. I also explained there were rare, rare reasons to ever have to use one.

[Kalidurga]

2. Nope

I can think of a better place that book could go, but it would be highly illegal to put it there. This is good too though.

[Fawke Em]

4. We thought about putting it on the toilet paper aisle, but this was just better.

AND there was an open place for it, too!

[Kalidurga]

5. Yeah that was my first thought too.

[winter is coming]

15. The open place was probably left over from the last time someone did that.

[Fawke Em]

16. All the right-wing books were on the bottom shelf, FWIW.

Not sure how my 6'1" son saw that, but he did and thought he'd tease his Mommy.

We grabbed a Limbaugh book, too, but my son said he wasn't worth the effort.

17. They keep 'em down there for easier kicking. n/t

[HassleCat]

6. Why would they move it?

It's categorized correctly.

[Fawke Em]

7. We go to a unionized grocery store.

They may just leave it there for that reason!

[Fawke Em]

8. On a positive note: there was another vehicle with a Bernie 2016 sticker

in the parking lot.

And one next to me with our Dem mayor's sticker and an Obama/Biden sticker.

We figure we made at least a few folks' day!

9. The Book: Pure Fiction. The Placement: Pure Poetry.

[Fawke Em]

12. The Reality: It was a fun time with my kids.

We really snorted over this one.

[Marie Marie]

13. Aaah, good times with the family..

priceless.

[pa28]

10. You are a bad, bad person and you should FEEL bad.

Kind of like I did when I did the same thing with Glen Beck's book.

[Fawke Em]

11. There was another lady in the aisle, maybe my age or a bit younger, who turned

around and smiled at us.

[SandersDem]

14. Oh I am sooo going to do this!

Hell, lets all do this!

[davidpdx]

18. I would have put all of the copies up there.

[emulatorloo]

19. Ha ha, I definitely needed like the laugh. kudos!

[tosh]

20. Oh, that is SO RIGHT!!

[tomm2thumbs]

21. would be extra fun at a Hobby Lobby

love what she did there...

[RoccoR5955]

22. Nah.

I have been known to take books like that at Barnes and Noble, and put them in the Humor section.
This is better!

[SheilaT]

23. How would you take it if someone came into your work place

and rearranged things, causing extra work for you?

It's only semi-amusing, and some employee is going to have to put it back. They probably won't get a laugh out of it, just chalk this up to another asshole customer.

[nc4bo]

24. Job security. nt

[SheilaT]

27. How reassuring to think that clerks at stores

wouldn't have a job if jerks didn't rearrange the stock for them.

[eridani]

30. If it was me, I would have appreciated the laugh--

--and posted a cell phone photo online.

[SheilaT]

31. I gather you work in a store and you really are amused

when customers rearrange the stock?

[eridani]

32. I haven't for 50 years, but back then I appreciate breaks in the routine n/t

[SheilaT]

33. Good for you, but

I suspect most people in such jobs today would not view customers moving stock around as a break in the routine to be appreciated. More like some jerk has created extra work for them.

Just my opinion. But then, I always put my grocery cart back in the corral provided. I don't view leaving them strewn around the parking lot as job security. But then, I also take a very dim view of cars in the middle of parking spaces, making it harder to find a place to park.

Consideration for others ought to be basic to everyone.

[in_cog_ni_to]

25. LOL!

Perfect spot! :thumbs up:

PEACE
LOVE

26. Douches are very good things.

They bring relief to suffering women. Trump is not and does not.

[Donkees]

28. PITA belongs next to the hemorrhoid cream

[niyad]

29. and I hope that they catch the message!
