I've gotten used to lines outside Trader Joe's, but today was the first day I found one outside our main grocery store. They're having to limit how many shoppers are in the building at once, and apparently I came at a busy time.
As if standing in line wasn't bad enough, the guy in front of me was smoking while he waited. I was struck by the irony that we were all standing six feet apart to avoid getting a nasty respiratory disease, and someone was doing something that is scientifically proven to increase our risk of lung cancer. I didn't want to inhale carcinogens, but I also didn't want to lose my spot in line, so I moved a few steps to the side so I wouldn't be downwind from all those fumes. Problem solved.
