| | A Soupy Circus with Random Russian Women
If anyone is planning on writing a musical about soup I wish they could have been at Randall's on Westheimer with me today. I watched about 30 russian women unload from a tour bus for a little afternoon grocery store stop. All was calm until they saw....the soup bar....with FREE samples.
The word spread quickly among them as I watched the invasion of the soup bar. Small plastic sample cups and ladles clanking high in the air. I was thoroughly enjoying the scene from a safe distance when one of the ladies approached me with eager excitement before blurting out "Free Soup!" In accented broken english she asked "Do you want some free soup?"
I left the scene to do some shopping and returned to find all (3) soup bins gone. As I made one final pass I found the attendant had cleaned the soup bar and re-filled them. With peace restored I decided to sample the mushroom soup. I saw one of the russian women peer around the corner as she discovered the re-filled soup bins. Within 45 seconds the women re-emerged and joined me at the soup bar. As the word spread and new soup pandemonia began break I slipped away having enjoyed the scene much more than the mushroom soup.
