ave three teenagers and shop every 10 to 12 days, and my cart is full to the brim every time I’m stopped every single trip, sometimes multiple times, with comments such as: “Got a full load there!” “How many kids do you feed?” “Hope you have a deep freezer!” “What is your bill for all that?” “How often do you shop?” “Are you one of those monthly shoppers?”What are your thoughts on this?
