Fill her up with four star, a packet of crisps, a bottle of Bordeaux and a butt plug please
Why...
Does the content mix of goods on display in some stores surprise me? I was recently in a small hillside village in the South of France when I stopped at the local gas station just outside town. It was a small family run business, not part of a major chain. When I went inside to pay, whilst I stood in the queue, I idly looked at the stuff on display. Oil, antifreeze, air freshener, alcohol (itās France) then came across dildos, a massive butt plug and handcuffs. Enterprising as this may be, I just donāt see if you popped in for a few litres of fuel, you might suddenly decideā¦ āAh yes, I need a new butt plug.ā Conversely, if you did need such toys, the last place I would think of to go and buy them would be my local garage. Itās not as if this was a major artery where long distance lorry drivers would pull in and buy themselves some personal amusement as they slept overnight in the car park. When it came to paying the elderly grey haired lady behind the till, I was so tempted to ask if she stocked any French ticklers. So now I have started to actively look for the unexpected in shops. Amazing. Dr. Schollās shoes in my greengrocerās, rat poison in my office supply shop and āJesus loves youā ties and āJesus savesā Band-Aids at the local coffee shop.
