Well do you? If you do tell them to us all.



Sorry I just note this comment floating around a lot and I for one do.

There I am D503 wandering down the aisles of Jewel. Sometimes I am buying things, sometimes I am just mingling with the workers. Usually it is a late night trip and the store is empty and really calm. I am carrying my basket and happily reading all the labels...what I am buying isn't usually all that important. In my nightmares I am back working at one but for some reason their are only Koreans shopping, or I am at what I know to be "Jewel" only to have the meat man yelling at me in some other language.

I often wonder if this is more related to the extreme difference of goods or to the extreme difference in supermarket style.

You read my post on the I hate Mold!!!! thread, and then created this poll. Admit it.

In my dreams I'm at the deli...

I haven't had dreams per se, but as I am thinking of moving soon, I did happen to look at this one grocery store's website, and hit all the virtual sections and almost cried with joy. It seems so much better than anything Korea has to offer, and my friend says that store is a crappy one and there are far better grocery stores there.

That can't possibly be!

When I actually visited one last year, I was stunned speechless. All those choices.
