Habryka and I went together to buy food from the Trader Joe’s. I don’t recall what was or wasn’t said. All I recall is that I was concerned that they wouldn’t let us buy so much food, that some staff member would come out and get angry at us and stop us, like I was at school and breaking the rules. But they were notably positive about it (“Wow! This is a fun order!”), and I felt relief and was extra friendly.
Added: We went at like 6pm I think? There was a lot of people around, and I felt a bit conspicuous. I acted normal. I think I was thinking about how to get around the system if they stopped us. I think I had some vague fantasy of coming in and out a lot in different wigs and noses, which is not a very realistic plan, but I was sure concerned that I wasn’t allowed to buy so much, and was sort of mentally preparing for that world.
