The Price of Bread

On the way to my own dinner party, I realized I needed to make garlic bread...so I attempted to quickly "dash in and out" of the grocery store
(which is almost impossible since their are those assholes who go into the "express" line with OBVIOUSLY waaay more than 10 items, not thinking that anyone else is actually going to the store for ONLY one item...hey, it's actually like parking in a handicap spot and not being able to fathem the idea that MAYBE just MAYBE a handicap person would decide to venture out into the cold, cruel world)
Nevertheless, I was stopped in the bread isle by a little old woman who was completely dumbfounded that she could not find a price sticker for her rasin bread.
I was on a mission...for freshly baked Italian bread (NOT French bread, since the French are assholes---come to think of it though.. honestly I probably would have taken the French bread since I was desperate at that point.....)

anyways I was on a mission...
Sadly I did not contemplate before hand the fact that maybe "ghetto ass Giant" would not have freshly baked bread...only some fucking packed hamburger rolls...ANYWAYS...while I was standing in bread isle, my eyes frantically scanning left and right, hoping that somehow missed the always larger-than-life "FRESHLY BAKED BREAD" signs at all the OTHER (un-ghetto) grocery stores, I was interupted by an old lady, who I would have otherwise considered "sweet" but in my current state of franticness, she was breaking my train of thought.
"If there is no price tag, does that mean it's free?" She turned and asked me.
Totally flabbergasted at her comment, I attempted a friendly chuckled and then replied with a cool, "hmm, I'm not so sure.."
Totally back into my "bread" mode ----she interupted me AGAIN...."is that a dress your wearing, or a blouse and pants..?"
Now was that meant as an insult? I'm wasnt really sure actually..I was wearing gauchos and a flowey top which was hot...(DUH)....so at that point I said in a not as nice as before way...." uhhh no it's actually pants and a top."
"yeah, I just cant keep up with womans fashions these days...." From that point on I gave her one last (are you serious) look, then totally blocked her out of my head and grabbed the wheat hamburger rolls...I was totally going to have to improvise for my fucking garlic bread.....FUCK (meanwhile the woman was still asking out loud to no one how much the bread was).
