Oh It’s Tuesday: Old People and Celebrities

So remember last Tuesday when I went on that diatribe against standing in line behind old people and basically everyone agreed with me except Josh G from Future So Bright, who is only 14 and therefore has not had enough time to develop deep-seated (but totally true!) prejudices yet?

dave_02Well, I’ve decided to add celebrities to the list of people you don’t want to get in line behind.

The scene: The Glendale Costco. The line: composed of 4 guys. So it was both not-old and short by Costco standards. The celebrity: Dave Annable from Brothers & Sisters in a twee blue sweater and wool English cap, standing at the front of the line.

First question: why was Dave Annable at the Glendale Costco? Answer, stocking up for what looked like some kind of New Year’s party. Second question: Why was standing in line behind Dave Annable so horrible. Second answer: I’m still not sure why. I think it has something to do with Costco only taking one type of credit card and requiring that you use an ATM/Debit card if you don’t have one. But 10 minutes later the line still hadn’t moved. Calls were made. A very pretty girl materialized — a girlfriend? A personal assistant — we may never know. Dave spoke to her with the same perplexed puppy dog look on his face that he uses whenever he accidentally tells another family member something he wasn’t supposed to tell them (basically every episode). She talked to the cashier. Five more minutes passed. The longer line with the old people completely cycled out. And then finally, they managed to check out just like regular non-celebrities.

I would’ve been mad, but it gave me a subject for today’s personal blog, so there’s that.

Still, I’m adding celebrities to the list of people I won’t get in line behind if I can help it. Just saying….
