Cheese Knife
I stopped at Kroger on the way home today. I was trying to find my coupon for tortilla chips when a voice comes over the loud speaker:
"ATTENTION KROGER SHOPPERS. WE ARE RUNNING A SPECIAL EXCLUSIVE ONLY FOR THOSE PEOPLE IN THE STORE RIGHT THIS MOMENT. IN TWO MINUTES, WE WILL BE GIVING AWAY A SPECIAL GIFT AT THE END OF AISLE TWELVE NEAR THE SELF-CHECKOUT. AGAIN, THIS IS A FREE GIFT JUST FOR PEOPLE IN THE STORE. YOU ARE VERY LUCKY. HEAD TO AISLE TWELVE."
After a minor inner battle in which my brain told me that it was probably a crappy gift and it wasn't worth having to listen to whatever sales pitch they were going to give, and after surreptitiously eying aisle twelve from around the Doritos stand, I gave him and went to get my free gift.
Cheese knife! Not the worst of special free gifts. I did have to listen to a five minute spiel on some magic heating pad thing, though. Was it worth it? Would I do it again? I honestly don't know. Probably.
