Does it really matter what she got? Do you know anything about her or are you simply judging her based on this? Maybe she already got her groceries and forgot the moscasto so ran back in for it. Maybe she had a list of things but everything was out but the moscato. Maybe she had a horrible day and on the way home stopped for moscato. While in line did she cough on you? Run up to give you a hug? Spit on you? Put you life in jeopardy? Or did she mind her own business, keep her distance, get what she needed, and get out?

Why were you at Winco? For food and supplies? Why didn't you order them online and have the delivered to your home? That would have been the responsible thing to do but intead you were just as irresponsible as Watermelon Moscato Lady. And you're worse than her because you're judging a person you know nothing about all the while doing the same thing as her... going out in public when you should really sit your ass at home. Here's a great idea, stop juding people and worry about yourself.

Awfully judgy, and bonus for gendering the person. Shopping at Winco probably affords you bragging rights amongst your friends, but you used your privilege and put your true self on display by publishing this.

What self-righteous garbage content, it contributes noting to the much larger issue at hand. Is this supposed to be entertaining? informative? I'm at a loss. The finger you are pointing can be pointed right back at you for wasting news space during a pandemic. Do they have less right that you to be in a public space because of what they are purchasing? There has not yet been a call to not leave ones home so what exactly is your problem? How did this get past editorial?

I don’t mean to jump on the shit-on-Blair bandwagon but... this is kind of mean and puts you in a super privileged light. This could have been a funny little note, but you got weirdly personal and kind of attack-y.
It sounded more like you were venting your own personal anxieties (I def get why), and in which case maybe just say that instead? I clicked on this to get a chuckle and instead feel kind of down and bummed I didn’t get watermelon moscato at Fred Meyer last night.

Awkward.

You guys are cranky!

Blair you are an entitled twit. AND, Plaid Pantry is sold out of Watermelon Moscato.

I'm going to take the road less traveled here. Although it did come off as quite judgemental (could've used a few less question marks and more light-hearted whimsey to even out the tone), those of us who made it to the end of the article could see that Blair's true intention was one of gratitude for the distraction. And while it's true something like this (in shorter form) would be more at home on I, Anonymous, I'm going to give Blair - and the Merc - a pass on this. They are going through a hard time. They had to cut 10 of their core staff and are hemorrhaging advertising. So quit hating fools! You are not making things any better. You try coming up with top shelf content week after week while working on a skeleton crew!

PS hey Merc, BTW I've been known to pen a gem or two and I'd be happy to donate original content if you ever need a hand filling out some space.
