Midjack posted:some whole foods have wine bars, and i know a few people who hit them pretty hard. getting shitfaced at a grocery store is a special kind of broken. giant eagles have the market district stores that have a bar and some higher quality food stands and beer holders on the carts not something i would do normally, but its interesting to go shopping slightly buzzed and full of tasty food while nursing a drink i imagine its what stay at home wasps do but with beer instead of white wine

SO DEMANDING posted:why do people always compare trader joes to supermarkets. any trader joes i've ever seen is comparatively tiny and mostly filled with junk food and frozen meals for yuppies. idgi trader joes is really good and significantly cheaper than my normal grocery store for a good selection of cheese, milk, eggs, chocolate, english muffins, canned fish, nuts, and certain fresh herbs but yeah 75% of the store is packaged and premade crap, anyone that does 100% of their grocery shopping there eats terribly

the target near me added a pizza hut to the front right by the doors, and idk what they're doing to that "pizza dough" but the smell is so awful and pervasive that i get pissed off every time i walk into the store. imagine screwing up the enticing smell of pizza that badly, jfc

back then "case" always referred to 24 cans. always. the usage of "case" for "oh it's more than 1 thing thus case durr" i've only noticed in the past 3-5 years there are different case sizes for different products but for 12 or 16 oz cans it's always been 24 for the case size
