Next stop!
Would you believe Walgreens?
To save hassle with the wonderful members of the TSA we decided we'd just buy all necessary liquids at a drug store en route to the hotel. Eckerds and CVS dont do Memphis apparently. But we found Walgreens.
It's at this point I should mention that Memphis has a nasty habit of putting the signs for stuff right at the turn. The town can be a bit of a bear to navigate if you dont know it. And this Walgreens is in the projects.
Peekers didn't think to warn us about that one til after we were at the hotel.
Fortunately, I'm part coondog when it comes to finding my way around and the natives didn't quite know what to make of 2 big white boys covered in BBQ sauce.
Now you'd think a simple trip to Walgreens would be uneventful. Not the way this day was going.
No, it turns out that in the Sunday paper they had some ginormous sale on generic toilet paper at Walgreens. I get the impression that all that BBQ creates some sort of intestinal issues in memphis because I swear to god we had to stand in line behind 6 people all with buggies FULL of asswipe paper.
Peekers called just as we were checking out and they were about 10 minutes ahead of us. I'm sure she thought we were full of shit ourselves with the comments about the toilet paper, but we weren't And the girl at the register was cracking up just listening to the phone conversation.
I shoulda got a picture of the buggies full of toilet paper but again who thinks to carry a camera into Walgreens?
I guess I'm gonna start.
