The Grocery Store

In close proximity to the apartment is a Kroger, Piggly Wiggly and Schnucks. All 3 are old school "supermarkets." Each has a bakery, deli, cleaning supplies, organic section and ladies at the check out counters that are a 100 years old. Each one of the stores is a bit dingy, run down and smallish. They are not the well lit, wide aisle, hi-tech check-out of the suburbs. And I kind of like that because I am currently doing much smaller shops to accommodate the lack of storage in the apartment.



I find that I am gravitating to the Schnucks. And I am doing that because it is the worst of the 3. The thinnest aisles and people, me included, stop randomly in the middle of the aisle and make a 3 point turn because you cant make a straight U-turn. I have to wait for people to find what they are looking for on the shelves; be careful when I make a turn into an aisle and wear a jacket because it is as cold in there as the North Pole in January.



I am also going because it is the best of the 3. The parking lot security guards are the friendliest. The staff in the store is helpful. The customers are pretty varied, from the very old to the newly on there own. It feels like Keller's IGA in Cincinnati. It feels like home
