Never Trust A Papoose


Friday I lost a Hearing Aid. I have looked in all the places it could possibly be but I have about given up. Change that to I have given up. 😢

One of the places where I could have lost it was Kroger. After I looked at all the places in Kroger where it could have been I went to Customer Service and got in line.

My plan was to ask if it had been turned in to their Lost and Found and, if not turned in, leave a note with their Crack Staff with my Name and Phone Number on it in case it is turned in later.

As I stood in line I started to get an uneasy feeling about just how efficient Kroger’s Crack Customer Service Staff was…
  •         The girl behind the counter had a tattoo on her neck. 
  •            As I got closer I saw she had several tattoos on her arms.
  •         There was no symmetry in her choice of tattoos…a Chicken Head, Chinese Writing, a Hockey Stick, something that looked like it could have been a Frog or a Lizard, etc.

When I got to the head of the line I began to feel reassured. 

She had a very pleasant smile, she seemed interested and sympathetic to my tale of woe and she had nothing hanging from her nose.

She took my piece of paper with my Name and Phone Number on it and pledged to call me if my hearing aid came into Kroger’s Lost and Found.

Then, as I turned away, I noticed her name on her name badge. It was Papoose! I got a sinking feeling. What kind of person has Papoose for a name? With or without tattoos can a Papoose Person be trusted?

I slowly walked back to my car with a growing feeling of apprehension.
***************
Two day later I went back to Kroger to see if any miracles had occurred while I was away.

The nice untattooed middle aged lady behind the Customer Service Counter left no stone unturned but she not only did not have my hearing aid but she found no traces of my Note with my Name and Phone Number on it.

Never Trust A Papoose.

Would I kid u?

Presuming that her parents actually christened her with that name, what the hell were they thinking?
