We needed some things from the store anoche, but we didn't go to our usual Giant on York Rd. The Super Fresh in Hampden is closer, so we figured, what the hell, it's just M&Ms and stuffing ingredients. No big deal.
Turns out they've been renovating. They knocked down a wall and quintupled the size of the produce section. With all the new, muted colors (read: Whole Foods, Earth Fare), pleasing signs and hip new logo, the dirty old Super Fresh is mutating into superfresh. We seriously thought we'd stop going to Giant when we saw it.
New store, same customers. Everyone else insisted on cutting me off whenever I got more than a foot from Kendra and creating cart-blockades in random aisles just for fun.
By the time we reached the bread aisle, we encountered two dirty, gibber-jabbering tykes with an empty cart. They just wandered around, shouting about needing bread. Kendra tried to help them, but couldn't understand their peculiar little language -- perhaps a local Hampden dialect. I had to pull her away, her concern outlasting my patience. They zoomed by in the cart afterwards, no bread in hand and no parents in sight.
No one knew how to use the self-check-out machines, and most were ringing up a cart-load of groceries, completely defeating the purpose. We did as the computer told us and went to the cashier for our change, but she just looked at us like we were stupid. She gave us the coins, but the rest of our change was just sitting there at the machine, waiting for somone to yoink it.
All in all, not worth missing half of Everybody Hates Chris.
