Well, I paid no attention and went into the next aisle to get some DHEA and chromium picolinate, figuring she would have made a selection and left by the time I returned. Of course, I was wrong. However, she was then eating a Pure Protein bar from a box she had opened and still looking at the various products. Now remember that I had mentioned that she was in a sundress. It will now be noted that she was not in a very fit shape. Furthermore, she had several scabs/blackheads/metastasized cancerous things all over her back. She then turned to talk (yell) at her associate in another language (unknown, I can rule out Spanish), while still chewing on the bar which revealed a most hideous profile. Seeing all of this, I stood perfectly still, as if I were in the fixed sights of a velociraptor, biding my time. When she finally did move aside, just barely, I hurriedly grabbed the protein powder I needed and power walked away.
