WANTED: 1 courageous soul willing to run weekly shopping errands for this week and the next. Buyer will be compensated for purchased goods and for time spent. Must be able to follow a list. Must have more patience than I do for the modern American custom of swarming the shops en fucking masse during the week before Christmas. Thank you.

How much are you paying for the job?

[devoutish]

35 dollars. You'd be going to several shops.

[cadbane]

That better be per shop.

[devoutish]

For picking up bread and milk? Don't be ridiculous.

[cadbane]

You insinuated there was danger.

[larped]

Pretty sure this is why everyone orders online now.

[devoutish]

And what about the shops that haven't got websites?

[restingstitchface]

What a good idea. Wish I'd thought of it.

[devoutish]

Not to worry mate, I haven't put a copyright on it.

[restingstitchface]

That's just what I like to hear. What are you in the market for, anyway?

[devoutish]

Groceries, that's honestly all.

[restingstitchface]

Well, we all need help with the little things. And there's plenty of sharks who'll take advantage of that.

We didn't have Christmas in my world so this swarming of the shops is pretty shocking. It's like people forgot their manners all of a sudden.

[devoutish]

I hope you didn't try to go out the day after Thanksgiving.

[sonofgold]

I watched the news reports and decided it would be in my best interests to stay home and bake instead. I try not to judge people, but I can't see how going out at 5 AM to shop is fun.

[devoutish]

Did you know they call it Black Friday, in honor of the darkness that descends on people's souls?

[sonofgold]

I'd believe it. All in the pursuit of, say, a cheap television. I guess I don't quite get it since I never had TV in my world.
