tropicana
just realized that the apple juice i'm drinking is from germany, austria, italy, hungary, argentina, chile, turkey, brazil, china, and the united states. i had never thought about my juice being so well-traveled.
(this is the extent of my exciting life? i'm posting about APPLE JUICE?)
on a slightly related note, i'd just like to say that last night at super wal-mart, where i bought the aforementioned apple juice, i appreciated the entire customer service experience. there were plenty of employees around, seeing as how it was late at night and they were stocking the shelves after the weekend crowd. so, on most aisles, employees asked if they could help me find anything and apologized for jamming the way with carts and boxes and products. (no apologies necessary - they gotta stock sometime.) and when i was about to check out, the guy at the "20 items or less" lane let me check out there, even though i had WAY more than 20 items. so, thanks.
i avoid grocery stores on saturdays like the plague. i've discovered that friday night and sunday night are much calmer times.

Oh, listen: 4:00 am is even better than Fridays or Sundays...
I agree that if one is going to survive Walmart with their sanity in tack, they must arrive late at night and alone, as opposed to trying to deal with the crowds, the consistently unstocked shelves, and the huge carts and abandoned buggies in the isles with a four and five year old in tow, for example. NOT FUN.
time to get up, cole!
laurie, i remember my mom sending us off to other aisles in search of an item we were supposed to bring back to her. so while she was on the soup aisle, she'd send me waaaaaay over to get milk. looking back, i think it was her way of having three minutes alone.
Wow - Saturday night at the WalMart in Honolulu is the WRONG place to be away from the crowds.
i survive wal mart by refusing to go.
I avoid grocery shopping like the plague...regardless of day or time.
Um, let's be clear: Laurie has NEVER gone to Wal Mart. They don't carry your groceries out for you there.
