Signs of the Food Apocalypse, Part 1
by peterbA real conversation I had at the grocery store yesterday:
Me: "Hi. Do you have any heavy cream?"And that was when I crumpled to the floor and wept like a jilted cheerleader. I know it was just one employee, but it's still depressing.Employee: "Heavy cream? What's that?"

This wasn't at Dairymart, was it? I thought they were supposed to have heavy cream.
