A Genuardi’s Zen Story

One day, two friends ordered some groceries from Genuardi’s. The order contained a number of essentials, including a bag of Yukon Gold potatoes. When the order arrived, the delivery man said that they didn’t have the potatoes. One friend became visibly upset, but signed the receipt and escorted the man to the door. After he left, the other friend became enraged, and loudly cursed the delivery man. The first friend explained that the order should have said “Same Size Different Brand” instead of “Same Brand Different Size” and apologized, since they had placed the order. The other friend didn’t care, and yelled insults at the no longer present delivery man, who probably didn’t even shop for the order in the first place.

“Have people become so robotized that they can’t even think for themselves, and can only follow the stuff written down on a form, and badly at that? You know, I think the Illuminati’s conditioning has worked a little too well, dumping sedatives and sterilants into the water and the like.” The other friend smiled. “Put down the moron from Genuardi’s. I did back at the front door.”
