H.E.B…we say HEB, like Deb, in our house. Mama’s going to the Heb, anybody want anything? I love that store. Oh! I can spend hours upon hours, browsing the isles, putting items in my basket I don’t need, look at those pretty plates and party ware, having coffee in the deli, mmmm….those pastries look devine, browsing some more, checking out the sushi (ick), finding a pretty bottle of wine and looking it up on my cell phone, hey – they don’t have THAT color of nail polish at Target, checking out and hoping the cashier forgets to offer me the special (I can get it free), pushing my cart outside, walking past the plants, putting groceries and other unneeded items (is unneeded a word?), walking BACK into the HEB to purchase those pretty petunias and buying a bag of cotton candy.

I’m going to miss the HEB when we pcs to Ohio.

I simply must get over here DAILY!! It’s been awhile. I need my daily dose of laughter. Reading several in one setting may send me into Depends forever!!

When my son was about 3 or 4 he said to the cashier you look like a witch. It was Halloween time and her wiry hair stuck up everywhere. Another time he said to a black cashier, did you know your skin is brown, and she didn’t miss a beat said yes and my parents are too. He said “really”.I just wanted the ground to swallow me up.

I can so relate with your post! I am so loyal to stores that I love and treat me right. When they change things up on me it totally throws me off! Ugh!

Our HEB did the same thing and I must say I had to stop going. I CAN’T take it. My mind can’t handle that much change and it was starting to take a map to find my way through. I just want the small time feeling grocery store…..if I want motor oil, I’ll go to Wally World.

Melanie,
I have to tell you that is the funniest thing I have read lately!!! I laughed so hard when you said the woman showing her boobies was just trying to get help from a HEB employee. Priceless, thanks for the laugh today!!!
Love,
Patty

Ok, when I couldn’t stand it anymore a few months ago and needed to know what the heck a HEB was, Mother Google told me it stood for “Here Everything’s Better.

No?

Please help me, I’m so confused.

Oh, and the rearranging store? I believe they know that after about 6 or 7 years you can shop in your sleep for the items you need. By messing with it you then have to pay attention again, and resort to buying things you wouldn’t have needed just to sustain you on the “safari” excursion!

Oh, they did this to me once. Actually there is a Meijer in my neighborhood that is actually arranged like that on purpose. It looks like the stock boy stood in the middle of the store and threw everythin up in the air and where it landed is where it is. Peanut butter and dog food share an aisle. Have you ever seen a dog try and eat peanut butter? That is just asking for animal abuse.
