[QUOTE=OtakuLoki] Just out of curiosity - Which is _your_ Wegmans? Mine’s the East Ave. store, and it’s tiny. (For a Wegmans, that is. It’s still head and shoulders above the supermarkets I grew up with in Massachusetts.) I avoid the Pittsford Wegmans, too, more because it’s just too damned much, unless I’m looking for a specific item I’m not likely to find at the smaller ones. [/QUOTE] **Jumps up and down stupidly and excitedly** East Ave. is my Wegmans! It is too small but they promise they are going to expand it. I can’t wait. The crowds are becoming unbearable. I am such a dweeb for being excited that a Doper shops at my Wegman’s. But excited, I am! ---

[QUOTE=OtakuLoki] I’m glad to have cheered you so much. I’m pretty pleased, too. 😃 [/QUOTE] Just think: someday you will run into each other there, and be so excited you will just have to stop and talk to each other for a while. And that evening some OTHER doper who also happens to shop there will pit both of you in this thread for daring to block the aisle. 😉 ---

[QUOTE=Lamar Mundane] In my younger days I used to carry random items (tampons, condoms, spam) in my cart and surreptitiously put them in the carts left in the middle of the aisle. I think I might start doing this again when I get a little older and no longer give a fuck. [/QUOTE] Heh! I do the same thing, only with Space Food Sticks ---

Man, I love the grocery store. I go to a local Publix, which is an excellent store. Also, every time I walk into a modern, clean, well-stocked grocery store, I’m just a little bit overwhelmed at what a land of plenty we have. I’m not so far removed from dirt-ass poor Appalachian roots that I can’t appreciate what an incredible cornucopia the modern grocery store represents. Yeah, there are a lot of negatives. Unsustainable farming/transportation, inconsiderate shoppers, prices, lazy employees, etc. But grocery shopping is a lot of fun for me, and maybe a bit of a privilege.
