Guilty pleasures

Spotted, a woman at Safeway putting cinnamon doughnuts into her shopping basket. Makes sense, since the bakery was putting them on offer. In goes 3 boxes. However, I couldn't help but notice she had a really guilty look on her face. Her head had scanned her surroundings before quickly grabbing the boxes while her eyes did quick glances around her. She did catch me looking at her, but as soon as our eyes met, she looked down. Why is that? GUILT.

Poor woman didn't stand a chance. It was displayed right in the middle of the entrance, stacked up high. Does she also realise that just because you think nobody saw you put it in your basket, the calories don't count?

I walked around a little more, and wandered into the chocolate aisle. I felt like something rich. Grabbed it and proceeded to the checkout and sat on the bench right outside the exit. I broke off a bit of my chocolate and put it in my mouth. Mmmm, rich, creamy milk chocolate, cool air blowing and the sun on my face. I suddenly wondered if this would make a good advert.

Out walks doughnut woman. She pauses to look at me, the opened chocolate bar in my left hand, partially bitten off square in my right. For a split second, I thought she was gonna rob me of my chocolate, but she quickly walked to her car.

Makes me wonder if she'd rather have my chocolate than her 3 boxes of doughnuts. That goes to show, indulge in ONE good thing, rather than 3 of something bleh.
