Unfortunate animal cracker experience

So I was at Wal Mart the other day, which I suppose it serves me right for being there in the first place. All I needed to purchase was an envelope and some tape, and I went in the express lane. In front of me was a guy, probably in his late 30's, with a stack of animal cracker boxes, two containers of deli ham, and about six bottles of vitamin water. He was making it very clear to the cashier and I that he lives mainly on animal crackers. And his beaming grin indicated that he was proud of it.

This is not something to be proud of. I decided not to discuss my profession at that time.

End of story.

Hey Meredith, I'm impressed with your discretion. I mean there are times to speak and times to not speak. You got it right!
Love ya, Mom

I agree with your mom. Hopefully he really doesn't live on animal crackers and deli meat, though. Maybe his son or daughter was in a school picnic or something and he wanted to bring some stuff to help out? We can only hope.
