Let me know when you reach for the pork chops and a voice says “That’ll do, pig.”

I was thinking more of, “Oye! Find something with cloven hooves that chews it’s cud, already.”

I shall continue to shop with the Evile Kroger Lady.

In my area it is the Kroger which does all these things. Of course they also have a free supervised play area for the kids with closed-circuit TV monitors placed throughout the store so you can keep an eye on little Billy no matter where you are. Ours is run by Ms. Grace, who the kids are very attached to and grocery day is something they look forward to. **Moxmaiden** looks forward to it too because she can get a coffee and stroll the aisles in peace, even if the produce section thunders and warbles at her occasionally.

Enjoy,  
Steven
