I have officially reached the chapter in my life where "I could go for some ice cream" ends up with me in a major supermarket, wearing a bear suit, with my partner acting like this is a perfectly normal Alice behavior, as we stock our basket with berries and ice cream.

Now, normally people stop me *everywhere* to compliment my outfits...

No one said a word, or even did a double-take.

This bear suit is like an invisibility cloak 😯

It's kinda amazing.

@alice
The only time I'd really get involved is if the bear was obviously too short to reach something up on the top shelf, I can lend a hand there, but the rest of the time it seems safe to just assume that they're just here doing chores like the rest of us and really don't need folks acting like meddling weirdos.

"Why are you dressed like that?" "Is this for a prank video?" "Are the mascot for some company from japan?" "Are you a furry?" "Is this viral marketing?" like ... what answer to any of those questions would be satisfying? What could you possibly learn from asking?

Nah, just find your wine and vege and bread and leave a bear be...
