And we are being watched and assessed like never before.
This morning our supermarket sent a selection of specials that they thought we
might like, all garnered through our loyalty cards. Now, the funny thing is
that how we shop skews their stats. We do the grocery shopping together... OK mostly
together, except for those weeks when life has interfered with our plans... OK
it's been ages since we shopped together. But the shopping that He does is weekly
shopping while one small slave brings home the snacks and fruit for our free
day.
The end result of this division of shopping are offers of
things that are just downright entertaining. For example the gluten intolerant
person who is fussy meat eater, has been offered pizza and cuts of steak that
will never, ever be consumed in this household. He, on the other hand, has been offered tinned
tuna (something one suspects he has never, ever eaten) and chia pods (think he
might have tried one once).
It was not this entertainment that caught one's eyes though.
No, what caught one's attention was the fact that this targeted marketing has
dobbed Him in...
'Cos on that list of offers to Him are packets of chocolate
mint slice biscuits...
Contraband so forbidden that we do not mention its name and
yet it has found its way into our shopping at some stage.
Sighs some people will do almost anything to get out of
grocery shopping unsupervised alone it would seem ;)
