If you happened to be watching the 10:00 WLBT news last night — and let’s face it, who wasn’t? — and happened to see the story about how someone slashed the throat of a McDade’s 14 employee yesterday with a “cutting instrument,” you also saw footage of me and my exposed throat blindly walking into said store. (I was the one in the pink shirt with the idea that my neighborhood grocery store is a safe place to go.)

Here’s the rest of the story.

I was also there on Sunday when a man threw a hissy fit in the parking lot and parked his car in the middle of the row, got out, and threw his keys on the ground while yelling at the security guard. Then he apparently recovered and went inside and did his grocery shopping for the week. I kept my eye on him and because of this, I can tell you that his shopping list included the following:

–fish
–milk
–roses
