So let me tell you a little story, about an incredible experience I had last Saturday. First a bit about me. I am an average looking mid-30’s, mid-level business manager. Around 5’10, 175lbs, not fat, but not super muscular. Blue eyes, short brown hair, clean shaven. Basically a dime a dozen, nothing special, suburban guy. I’m a single dad of two pre-teens, holding down my career and trying to raise my kids, which doesn’t leave a lot of time for friends and relationships. Heck it doesn’t leave a lot of time for much of anything. So, every other Saturday, when the kids are with their mom, I go do my grocery shopping for the next couple of weeks.
This was one of those Saturdays. After dropping the kids off, I headed over to my local Costco store. It was around 11:15am, and I was running a bit behind, as I usually like to get there right as they open to avoid the crazy Saturday crowds. Since I was already running behind, I decided to stop at Chipotle in the parking lot before going into Costco. At least then I wouldn’t go shopping hungry, which is always a really bad idea.
