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
I go to Food Fair supermarket even though Real Value is larger, has a wider selection etc. Food Fair is just down the road from where I live so that might be a reason.
There is this lady who takes your big bags at the counter who is most pleasant. She never needs to give you a number for the slot that she put your bag in, because she always remembers everybody and their bags. She always has small talk with you "so how are you today?". Not just mechanical and robotic. Very helpful and friendly and you know she is not a young person. She wears a wig.
But she is a credit to the supermarket. I was thinking today though that if they were to ever downsize, she would be one of the people they would get rid of since that position they might not see as essential. But let me tell you how much of a difference there is when the substitute young girl is there. Very different.

Me, I used to shop at Sovereign, mostly, prolly because they had so many other shops that it was more of a one stop solution. In second place then the one in the plaza where the Discount pharmacy (or whatever the Hussys who own discount in Manor Park area called their pharmacy in the Liguanea area) was/is... That supermarket changed names a couple of times, as I recall. My, how we can forget place names, eh? Still, I have always been bad with names.
Finally, I used the Supermarket over by the plaza across from the Scotia Bank in third place. You know where I am talking about, right? Man, I can't get over how I have forgotten the names of the pharmacys and the supermarkets... still, I didn't shop there much. I still remember Sovereign Supermarket and Monarch Pharmacy.
The second place supermarket is Superplus. The third place supermarket is Hi Lo.
I shop at Superplus first because it's cheaper. People say it's dirty but I don't find so. It is smaller so the aisles are not as big as Sovereign, but low prices...not large aisles...is what I need!

pocket over posh any day
I know what you mean about the personality of the supermarket. I've gotten so used to shopping at Lee's in Boulevard that when I go anywhere else even to the other Lee's I feel so out of sorts...so unloved...
