Dillons Karma

The Mr. needed me to pick up his prescriptions at J town's Dillon's pharmacy.  I hate that place.  The parking lot is always full, and then I end up waiting in line at the pharmacy.  Sometimes it is five or six people deep.  You can imagine how thrilled I was at his request. 

Of course, I arrived at Dillons at peak time:  5:00.  Everyone is just getting off work and stopping for groceries.  The parking lot is bad normally and worse when half of the lot is taken with their garden plants.  I finally spotted a parking space.  I'm ready to pull in, and.... three empty shopping carts are in the space.  *Lovely*  (I still don't understand why it is so hard to return carts.)

Fortunately, I found parking on the other side of the aisle.  I hopped out of my car and went to move the carts so someone else could park there.  A little black car with a young family was trying to pull in.  I grabbed a couple of the carts and the mom jumped out to grab the other one.  We returned them, she thanked me, and I went on into the store.

For the first time ever, one of the pharmacy windows was open.  There was no line.  *gasp* I walked up, got the prescriptions, paid, and left in about 3 minutes.  I couldn't believe it.

Paybacks.  Sometimes they work in your favor.
