Our town doubles in head count during the winter, as folks from Minnesota , Michigan, North Dakota etc arrive in their trailers. Generally they are nice people, until they go to HEB and stand in the isles.......Usually they are comparing cans of peas for how many are in the can. I have endured the winter texans for 25 years. Today I met a whole new level of winter texan. The two ladies, about 85 years old, no pictures, had the produce scale tied up as they were weighing empty produce bags to determine how much HEB was charging customers for the privilege of carrying produce to the checkout counter in a sanitary plastic produce bag.

I’ve lived in Texas for 15 years and have never encountered this at HEB. I don’t live by a campground tho.

The HEB near me is a zoo all day every day. It's comical how crowded it is all times.

Probably on their board talking about how much they like Texas except for the old, slack jawed dumbass they encountered at HEB

I don’t think those produce bags are considered sanitary.

get off my a-s. Aisle phonetically is absolutely close to isle. One is a path and the other is a land mass.

No one goes to the one near me anymore, it’s always way too crowded.
