Comments on: Three things I appreciate about my grocery store http://callapidderdays.com/2010/07/three-things-i-appreciate-about-my-grocery-store.html a random mix of faith, family, and the many things that fill my mind Wed, 01 Feb 2012 23:29:55 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Joye P. http://callapidderdays.com/2010/07/three-things-i-appreciate-about-my-grocery-store.html#comment-17792 Joye P. Wed, 14 Jul 2010 23:58:33 +0000 http://callapidderdays.com/?p=3864#comment-17792 Grocery shopping is a chore for me. I do not enjoy anything about it. Now that my children have grown up and (mostly) moved out, I don't dread it as much. It's not so much the shopping as it is the lugging of packages out of the cart, into the car, out of the car, into the house and then putting it all away. My local grocery store manages to take the sting out of it by providing some of the most courtious and helpful employees around. There is almost always someone available to help when you look lost. They never just check you out. A real conversation always happens as we pay. They will help you put your groceries your car and can not accept tips for it. So it's till a chore, but at least they make me smile while I accomplish it. Grocery shopping is a chore for me. I do not enjoy anything about it.

I am such a fan of the self-checkout. In fact, I've taken it a step further. Stop and Shop has the "Easy Shop" (I think that's what's it called now -- they changed it a few times), and I use it 100% of the time. It's a handheld scanner, so I can scan and bag as I go, then I leave and just quickly pay at the self-scanner line, because all my items are ready to go. LOVE IT! .-= Jennifer, Snapshot´s last post ..<a href="http://jennifersnapshot.blogspot.com/2010/07/how-i-met-jason-segel.html" rel="nofollow">How I Met Jason Segel</a> =-.

They do change things around a lot though. I can usually find a sales person or shelf- stocker to help me with finding an item. Courtesy goes a long way when shopping, and I like the people in this store. The other day a few employees were sitting on a bench outside, and all greeted me, even though it was their break time.

When we were kids, we'd go to Washington Mall (when it was more than a deserted building) and my dad would "treat" us to lunch at Hickory Farms where they were always generous with the samples. Oh and, you have tall people at your store? Lucky you! Mine seems to have mostly older folks using the scooter carts and it's usually me, stretching my 5'4" self to reach the top shelf for them!
