There’s nothing wrong with selecting a gallon of milk sitting behind another gallon of milk because it has a better expiration date.
Being a good consumer doesn’t make me a loser.
What makes me a loser is daydreaming about someone coming up to me and being like, “Hey! You’re supposed to take the first gallon of milk in the row!” And then I get all defiant like, “Hey! I’ll take whatever goddamned milk I want! You want to drink expired milk? Well be my guest!”
Then the person stalks off and I make eye contact with another customer and say, “Sheesh! Can you believe that guy?” and the customer is like, “I know. You’re right. What an idiot.”
THAT’S what makes me a loser. Also, it doesn’t help that I start to think about the daydream so much that after a couple of weeks I forget that it was just a daydream and so hurray! It’s real to me! It really happened!
