Michelle Obama and Ellen took a quick trip to CVS and Obama learned pretty quickly that Ellen is not someone you take shopping.
For The Ellen Show, the First Lady took a trip to CVS to get a taste of life after the White House.

The trip goes from zero to 100 real quick as Ellen gets a little out of hand. She opens boxed wine and begins handing it out to shoppers, uses a megaphone to announce that “Shelly,” her nickname for the first lady, needs cream for a rash, and jokingly begins to read a woman’s pin number out loud at the ATM.
“This is not how you behave in a CVS,” says Obama.
The two also look for the Obama’s October ESSENCE issue and at the end of the trip, with a cart full of stuff, Ellen admits she doesn’t have any money.
“I’ll be back, 2017,” Obama tells the manager as they exit the store, “I’ll be back, alone!”
