One time I was at a specialty beer and cheese shop and I saw this guy pushing a cart alone with two children. He generally looked beaten down and glum. The kids are rambunctious, he’s exhausted, wife is missing but obviously in the store with them.
He is browsing the cases, killing time waiting for his wife to come back. He grabs a small block of cheese, looks interested it and adds it to the cart.
A few minutes later, the wife returns and immediately spots the cheese block. She picks it up and screams “$10? For a block of cheese you haven’t even TRIED yet? Absolutely not.”
Then she hurled it back in the case and stomped off while he sullenly followed her with the cart and kids
They had a whole stupid argument about… Cheese. It went from small arguing to actual conflict.
Look, cheese is serious eats. And business.
And atrocity against vulnerable individuals.
