This just happened tonight around the midnight hour at a Ralph's grocery store I was in. I saw a very strange assortment of locals there. It was so bizarre that this may go down as a once in a lifetime experience! Here is the locals I encountered:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
-An old man standing as still as a statue,staring off into space.
-2 mexican guys fighting over a chicken leg on the floor.
-A punk college boy with spiky black hair.
-A cheerful native american hippie girl barking out things in a different language.
-A guy with a magician's hat and a shamrock t-shirt hanging out with the hippie girl.
-A guy who dives behind the seafood counter
-A goth-looking school teacher-like lady carrying roses.
-A college girl sitting in the baby seat of a shopping cart using a roll of "Fruit By The Foot" as a whip.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Has anyone ever had a similar experience like this one?
BTW,I'm NOT kidding! I really saw all these people in the store! I'm 16 years old and completely drug free!

No. I don't have any pictures but my mom describes it as "Walking into a Fellini movie".

Your story wins by a wide margin.
I was in Wal-Mart earlier and a smiley face costumed man was stealing people’s souls. I was ready to fight back but upon noticing the Star Wars display I realized he had the Jedi his side and ran away.:sad:

That's the sign his souls been stolen.

An old man standing as still as a statue,staring off into space.Brains, brains, it's ok! It don't matter if it isn't gray, and if at first he thinks it's strange, he won't think twice if he don't have a braaaaaaaain!
Holy crap man! I was once at Sears with my dad looking to buy a grill and there was this drunk short blonde guy who worked there saying how "This one is like ones they use in McDonald's, I HATE McDonald's!... Now Burger King is great, this one's like from Burger King, you gotta get this one!".

I like Burger King better because of their AWESOME french toast sticks. I always hated burgers in general,though.

Okay....
I must be living the wrong life. I want to see more surreal stuff like that.
And why was a college girl on the baby seat of a shopping cart?

Once I saw two people at a Harris Teeter store in the middle of the day push four shopping carts at once. They must have a large family or group to feed, but that's not something you see every day. In other words I don't see very many unusual things at a supermarket.
Now at a Whole Foods store (an organic store) I saw someone giving a woman a back massage at the front entrance of the store. I think that's just a service though.

I think the most interesting thing i ever saw in the store was one time at a grocery store I saw this lady and she was so upset about her lottery ticket because it didn't have her lucky number on it that she stood cussing at the machine for about 20 mins, and then this little boy that must have been her grandson or something came and took her by the hand and led her out the door. Funny, as she was leaving, she started laughing hysterically!

No. I don't have any pictures but my mom describes it as "Walking into a Fellini movie".
Or maybe the Twilight Zone. But I digress here..
Acutally it's funny you mention Weird things... and this is why I joke.. If you can see what I hear...
About 2 weeks ago. My Roommate and I were shopping at the local Grocery store, Picking up some odds and ends, and it was late at night (Midnight actually) and there were a bunch of Underage Drinkers (Teens Most Likely) who were trying to buy some alcohol. (of course they have to card if you are under 30.
anyway they were all acting rather boisterous and things like that.. when my Roomie goes to the other side of the check out line..(I usually shop and he picks up the tab..) Well what do my ears hear?
"Better watch it guys" said one kid under his breath.. "That guy's A cop." was the reply I heard..(now there were no Police officers but rather my Roomie who is a Security guard..(Talk about stupid most Tucson Cops wear black or Dark blue outfits. my roomie is wearing a white on black security guard outfit..(and in the end, they were a bit nervous.
Once we got checked out..and outside I looked over at my roomie and said.."You know, maybe we should hang around .. just in case.. He chuckled and asked why.. I told him what i eard.. and he was surprised..(Me a cop? Man these kids today are dumb!)
yep that's what happens when you go "Midnight Shopping.."

I agree with Wile E. Tucson...the late shift, is a odd lot,,,always has, always will be..I remember attending an all nite show, years ago, It started at midnite, Casablanca, then, at 2 am Maltese Falcoln, at 4am, the Big Sleep...I left at 4am..,What a crowd.....Sometimes when I was younger I would be out very late, and yes, there is something about those hours, and people who work days shiftes, and are out those hours, doing their busines, well, their timesclocks are turned around,,,,many act kinda off.
