OH! I love it! There are “excuse me” and ‘sorry’ echoing off the walls there! It runs like a well oiled machine. They got a vibe in there. They even have carry outs to your car. The only thing missing about the 1970s grocery shopping experience is no S&H Green Stamps and there is no smoking in the store. Ground out cigarette butts on the floor of the grocery store seemed counterintuitive.

Yes, I remember the precious stamps, but ours were Blue Chip. Each checkout had its own stamp dispenser; the clerk would dial up the proper amount of stamps, large and small, like using a rotary phone. Good times! If only the prices were the same as in the ‘70s. And of course the produce section had little more than lettuce, tomatoes, corn, potatoes and mealy “Delicious” apples.
