[Sca-cooks] shopping shyness?

[Jadwiga Zajaczkowa / Jenne Heise]

Ok, so I was taught to shop by my Grandfather (one of the great grocery 
shoppers of all time), my mom, and Florence-my-ex's-Jewish-mother, so 
maybe my shopping habits are a bit odd. But I've never had any problem 
or concern about conversing with people about what I'm buying all this 
food for. After all, if you walk out of the Food4Less with 80 loaves of 
bread, the little old men *will* ask if you are having a hoagie sale. So 
you explain you are doing lunch for 800, and it all goes well. When we 
were paying for the whole roast pig for the feast last weekend, and the 
butcher asked whether we were going to have a luau, of coruse I said, 
Actually we're having a medieval dinner, it's for a club... and we 
conversed happily. 

But I found out that some people are uncomfortable sharing this kind of 
information about our club. Is it just a personal difference (after all, 
I was a cute  spoilt kid and happily talked to anyone when I was little 
too...) or is it a regional SCA thing?
