Was a bit surprised until that part. No way my moms shopping would seem like an equitable split between them. Granted, one of my moms is regularly assumed to be a guy (I've had my high school's front office tell me to go to a remote parking lot to see my "dad" before - had fun messing with my teacher by pointing out I don't have one as I left the classroom). So people might not even notice they are a lesbian couple and many probably assume she's a dad when with us. Home Depot has always been far closer.
I do my best not to assume, and use gender neutral language, wherever possible. In my experience, same-sex couples are typically quite enthusiastic about telling me about their recent marriage, or even that they are a couple. I find it lovely. 
Nice. Curious if this is mostly younger couples. My parents grew up in a time less accepting (and we are in Texas), so that seems foreign to me.
not mostly younger couples, oddly. there's a pretty good spread.
