Probably not worth it

So I went to Ultra Foods yesterday hoping to save that up to 30% over regular grocery stores. My children were well behaved for about the 5 minutes their juice boxes and snack lasted. Then they were climbing incessantly in and out of the car cart. They were taking things off the shelves, pushing eachother, pulling hair, climbing on displays and screaming. Some days are just like that at the store. They are not good shoppers as a rule. Somehow we made it through the winding aisles with our cart filled up to the check out line. One of two that were open. One was the express aisle the other was the lane I stood in. The woman in front of us had a 10 minute conversation about the cereal she was purchasing which really wasn't for her while the cashier stood and read the ingredients on the box.

While I tried to wait patiently for the cashier to VERY slowly scan our items my 4 year old told my two year old she was covered in some kind of imaginary goo and that the goo was even in her mouth. At that the 2 year old cried, screamed and thrashed about as if really indeed covered in some kind of smothering goo. The cashier at this point stopped scanning items to watch the children. "They just need to get out of here." I said. The cashier handed them each an orange "Ultra Foods" sticker (gee thanks) and went back to slowly scanning our items.

As I bagged our items I let the girls out of the cart. They climbed the window displays and ran into old ladies with their shopping carts. They pushed and pulled eachother. I did everything I could to stop them...you know everything socially acceptable to stop them. Finally, after about the 10th time out in the store I very quickly swooped them each of them up and then pretty much dropped them down at my feet. I then blocked them in next to me with the cart. I recieved many many horrified glares and stares. My cheeks red with anger and embarrasement I quickly finished bagging. Handed them each the smoothy I'd bought them for lunch. Loaded the cart and we walked out. We made it to the car where I had no idea what to even do with them. Peanut thought it was all very amusing. I assured her it was not.

Peanut said we should probably never go back to that crazy grocery store again. I'm pretty sure I don't ever want to show my face there again.
