I can only imagine what a marketing director would have said had s/he been sitting upstairs in Safeway watching down on me yesterday:
Marketing Director
Here she comes. She has a two year old and a new baby, perfect. Oh look, she just got mad because her two year old pulled a package of white beans off the shelf. Okay, one more aisle.
Assistant In Training
Yeah, but she looks so tired. She seems to be in a hurry so maybe she won't even notice them.
Marketing Director
Hah! She sees them. Look, they stopped her in her tracks. She is reading the box. She is looking around in amazement like she has found a pearl in an oyster and wants to share this news with those around her. She is reading the box again. Yup, she realized the cookies are exactly like the Girl Scout Cookie Samoas.
Assistant In Training
Wow, she and the checker are really going to town discussing that one box of cookies.
Marketing Director
If only I had a dollar for every time someone kept repeating, "And they are only $1.99!" Like putty in my hands.
