Mr. Wholesale

Oh honey, did the crazies thing happen to me last night. I went to the Costco on 21st South as the hug black storm was rolling into Salt Lake. I was in the store for about 45 minutes when I found him. There were 4 employees checking receipts at the door and the line was way backed up. It was snowing/hailing sideways harder then I have ever seen it. People were waiting inside as they sent someone out to get the car. While Jerome checked me receipt, he asked me how I was doing as he cracked some joke about what I had purchased. I replied with something like, "I would be better if you went and got my car for me." Before I knew it, I had given my car keys to a stranger. (Now that I look back at this I know it was not the best decision, but he was an employee so I could track him down if I needed to.) He pulled up with my car, helped me put my things in the trunk and turned to me and said, "How about a little kiss for the road." I kissed him on the cheek and got in my car. As he closed to door behind me he said, "I'm Jerome, I hope you come back again."

As I pulled away, I could not stop laughing at what just went down.
