MIdnight at Sobeys

So the Sobeys is now open from 6am till midnight. I think this is great, as a shift worker there are times I don't get up until the evening, and don't get out until later. Tonight I did some midnight shopping. The first thing I notice is the interesting characters I meet. There's the usual suspects:
Keyser Soze loves the rotisserie chicken

There's the early 20s girl in U of R sweats probably on a study break, or just high and hungry, there's the visible minority workers working the shit shift, there's shift workers doing the daily shopping, and then there's the usual collection of late night people with soul-less eyes

don't you kids have school in the morning?

The next thing I notice is an older asian lady on her way out of the store. She has just purchased 12 frozen pizzas and 3 jumbo jugs of  Tide cold water.

that's one more huge jug than she's got

Nothing else. 12 pizzas. 3 jugs of Tide cold water. Paid in cash. I don't know what kind of shenanigans this older asian lady is getting up to, and I'm not sure that I want to.

maybe she's married to this guy

Also they were sold right out of cranberry juice. I didn't want any, and I'm not too sure why I noticed this, but apparently there is one hell of a rash of UTIs going around, or a ton Reginians hoping that the burn when they pee is just a UTI

Oh God let it be something antibiotics can fix
