I noticed lately that everytime I go to the store, and buy something, and no matter what it is the cashier asks me if I need batteries. I can’t help but wonder who thought this was a good idea? What use do I have for a battery when I’m not buying anything that uses them? I could see if I got a toy ,or flashlight, but not when I get things like clothes, candy, or paper towels. One time the cashier asked me if I needed them when I was getting a car battery. So I said “Not unless I can use them to jump start my car.”
What I probably could use is a gadget that I saw on the web some time ago.It was a usb battery. (A battery with a usb port for charging.) If I had one of those I wouldn’t have a pile of old batteries that have run out of juice. Well she didn’t look like she found it as funny as I did. I will say that sometimes it does make me laugh, and not feel so stressed from shopping.
Maybe that’s why they ask the question so to make you feel better. Make you laugh, and relieve some stress.
