The next decade....what's in store?
Musings of a yamfooted traveller still trying to shake off those last 20 pounds as she treks across the Caribbean
Bounced in there somewhere around 11am. Supermarket nice and empty. First order of business was to find Miss Grant. After all, I couldn't pack up all dem trolleys only to hear "sorry, we can't accept this cheque".
Clearly they have no hand over system, so even though Ms Kinghorne told me to ask for Miss Grant and "tell her you spoke with me", I would also have expected her to tell Miss Grant "dis lady name Miss Yamfoot will come tomorrow with a cheque". Anyway, Miss Grant said it was Ok for me to shop.
And shop I did. When I filled up the first trolley, I headed to a cashier to make them hold it, where an eager young bag boy rushed to me to take it. "No, no, I still have a lot of shopping to do, so I need another trolley." Off I head to get it, when he said "is OK miss, I'll get it for you." Him spot di rake.
The second one was filled up and I took it to the cashier again. Same thing. Young men rush to get me another empty one. I asked them for a case of cow's milk and he went and got that. So very helpful they were.
When it came to finally cashing the stuff, there was not one, not two, not three, but FOUR persons attending to me. Reminded me of that scene in Pretty Woman where all the sales persons are sucking up to Julia Roberts after Richard Gere tells the store manager that he is going to spend an obscene amount of money.
I filled in the amount on the cheque, went to Miss Grant for her to authorize it and she said "hopefully everything will be ok" and I told her yes.
When Mother comes back, I will give her the bill to double check prices against MegaMart and see which one is more economical. And if Loshusan's turns out to be even or less than MegaMart, I will encourage them to switch.
